You may add a "nb8800_mdio_cmd" helper to factor the lines above in
nb8800_mdio_{read / write}. It could save some bytes.

Factor out ?

It looks like it receives, then tries to allocate new resources. If so
it may deplete the ring and you should instead consider allocating new
resources first, then receive data if alloc + map suceeded.
