Thanks Fabio for the test.

I also tried with a different different approach.

I built the different platforms (imx v6, etc ...) :
 - one version (a) on a vanilla v4.5-rc2
 - one version (b) on a vaniall v4.5-rc2 + this patch

For each of the builds, I took the preprocessed output of smc911x.c, and made a
diff between (a) and (b). The commands used were :
 - building in [1]
 - diffing in [2]

The result is [3]. I conclude from [3] that the driver cannot break for non PXA
platforms.

With Fabio's test and this demonstration, is enough to convince you to apply
this patch David ?

Cheers.
