I removed MODULE_AUTHOR as per Scott's request.
We'll change the way we note contributors.

OK, removed.

Agree, changed the driver to use priv->phy_if instead of strstr in both places.
In both

According to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle:

The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is:

	/*
	 * This is the preferred style for multi-line
	 * comments in the Linux kernel source code.
	 * Please use it consistently.
	 *
	 * Description:  A column of asterisks on the left side,
	 * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
	 */

For files in net/ and drivers/net/ the preferred style for long (multi-line)
comments is a little different.

	/* The preferred comment style for files in net/ and drivers/net
	 * looks like this.
	 *
	 * It is nearly the same as the generally preferred comment style,
	 * but there is no initial almost-blank line.
	 */
