I think this declaration sorting order is misguided but
here's a possible change to checkpatch adding a test for it
that does this test just for net/ and drivers/net/
(this likely won't apply because Evolution is a horrible
email client for sending patches, but the attachment should)

total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 11 checks, 1297 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
drivers/net/ethernet/ethoc.c has style problems, please review.
NOTE: Used message types: REVERSE_XMAS_TREE
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
