Just a very brief review here. The driver is far too long to be
reviewed in one piece, and hopefully is not needed at all if my
suspicion is correct that we already have a driver for the
hardware.

It sounds like this one is related to the dwmac driver in
drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/. Please move the code into
the same directory and reuse as much as you can.
If this is a completely unrelated part, it should probably go
into drivers/net/ethernet/designware or drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys.

Drop the non-CONFIG_OF part here and elsewhere, we don't support
separate platform directories any more, and mach-qcom is already
DT-only.

This looks a lot like dwmac1000 as well.

This is not an acceptable way to pass data from DT, please use the standard properties.

Also any IS_ERR_OR_NULL checks, you are using the API incorrectly.

Are all four versions supported by this driver?
Each one of these needs its own devicetree binding that documents which
hardware it is for and what the supported DT properties are.

The redundancy here is redundant and unnecessary.

Remove the private ioctls.

Why multiple modules instead of linking everything together?

You seem to have an operating system abstraction layer in here. We know
which OS we are running on, so please remove the abstraction.
