Just a few style comments:

Do you actually need the copies of these fields? I guess you can
always access the data from pdev.

Use kzalloc or kcalloc here.

Your cleanup path gets simpler if you use goto, and only one
instance of kfree at the end, instead of multiple return statements
in this function.

Instead of 'if (NULL != buffer_info->skb)', you should write
'if (buffer_info->skb)', like you do elsewhere.

Labels go to the start of a line.

No need for the #ifdef when submitting the driver for inclusion.
In this kernel version, NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX is always defined.

Any reason why you can't use generic_mii_ioctl?

It's more common to have a single label with multiple gotos instead
of multiple labels that all go to one statement.
