A couple of trivial comments not already mentioned by others.

ARM specific net drivers are for now in drivers/net/arm/
Perhaps it's better to locate these files there?

There are many printk_ratelimit() tests.

It's better to use net_ratelimit() or a local ratelimit_state
so there's less possible suppression of other subsystem
