NAK:

1) writel() and readl() are defined to be little endian.

If your platform is different, then your platform should have its own 
foobus_writel() and foobus_readl().

2) TSI108_ETH_WRITE_REG() is just way too long.  TSI_READ(), 
TSI_WRITE(), TSI_READ_PHY() and TSI_WRITE_PHY() would be far more readable.

More in next email.
