    Well, it looks as the compiler is not free to reorder bit fields, and the 
order is determined by the ABI. Will look into getting rid of them anyway...

    OK, fixed. The same bug as in sh_eth.c which also needs fixing

    Grr, this is just suicidal. :-(

    Hardly, especially since the driver wouldn't be able to continue with the 
aligned TX buffers freed. :-)

    The approach was copied from sh_eth.c which also needs fixing. :-(

    OK, fixed. Not sure what we should return in this case: error code or
NETDEV_TX_OK...

    OK, added where it's needed (or not :-)...

    OK, fixed (along with duplicate setting of 'ndev->netdev_ops'.

    Contratrywise, I've merged 3 files (Ethernet driver, PTP driver, and 
header) into 1.

    OK, will try to split the driver back... Perhaps I should also split the 
patch accordingly?
