The Marvell PHYs have a similar capability. Its actually more feature
rich. It allows upto 8 matches, each being of up to 128 bytes, and you
can enable/disable each byte within the 128 bytes. This would in fact
be better for Florian's use case, since it could match deeper into the
frame and reduce the false positive. But its a Marvell device...

My real point is, other hardware does have similar capabilities. Its
unclear if anybody else will ever actually need it, but we should try
to avoid a one device solution.
