You need to disable line-wrapping for posted patches.  If your mailer
always wraps the body of a message, send the patch as an attachment.

Some of the code appears to be indented wrongly but that may also have
been broken by your mailer.  Use scripts/checkpatch.pl to find the
formatting errors.

Should be "xps_lltemac" to match the module name.

Should be <linux/io.h>; <asm/io.h> doesn't define the same things on every
architecture.

typedef'd names are deprecated, and enum/struct/union names should be
lower-case.

What about VLAN tags?

"/**<" looks like the start of a doxygen comment.  You should use kernel-
doc format for structured comments.

That name is a bit generic and might result in a clash later.  How about
using XTE_ALIGNMENT instead?

Why aren't you using the generic I/O functions?

If this driver is PowerPC specific, you need to declare that dependency
in Kconfig.

Again, use kernel-doc for structured comments.

The "Returns" description is wrong.

You need to range-check reg_num before this point.

You must not use a simple counter for timing loops.  Use udelay() to wait
between polling attempts.  Also, never put a semi-colon on the same line
as the while-statement.

The same problems apply to mdio_write(), emac_cfg_read() and
emac_cfg_write().

This comment and several others following it appear to be copied from some
tutorial documentation and are not very useful for this specific
implementation.  Please remove them.

Typo: the word is "promiscuous".

So you just ignore the remaining addresses?!

Surely you should add "|| ndev->mc_count > MULTICAST_CAM_TABLE_NUM" to the
condition for setting the MAC to be promiscuous?

There's no conditional here so this last line doesn't make sense.

You're using MII_BMCR so this line of the comment is unneeded.

Why?  You should handle AN using a delayed work item or PHY interrupts.

We know.

There's no harm in passing 0 to skb_reserve; remove the test and combine
the remaining two lines.

Don't comment-out code.  If it's wrong, delete it.

Kill this comment; it's in the wrong format and full of misinformation.

Remove the test; netif_wake_queue() does that itself.

The kernel has its own TX lock so you shouldn't need this.  Use
netif_tx_lock() to synchronise TX reconfiguration with this.

Here tx_lock is left locked if you stop the queue.  What are you trying
to do here?

Needs range-checking.  Or you can just use the default implementation.
