Ok I see what you mean since I'm not actually returning anything. I'll
go with of_can_transceiver_fixed based on your comment also Oliver's
suggestion.

All other functions within this file uses struct net_device *dev. So I'm
just following the style currently used.

Thanks for catching this. Will fix.

Will fix.
