You can use the ARRAY_SIZE() macro for this.

You can use ETHTOOL_BUSINFO_LEN as a limit here, though it's longer than
the pci_name() string can currently be.

rx_max_coalesced_frames is unsigned.  If you make max_rx_coal unsigned too
then you don't need to worry about this case.

Why are you applying an LRO limit here?  This is supposed to control
interrupt coalescing.

That's a very strange way to expose the IRQ number.

How could this happen?

Don't use return here; it's redundant.

Don't printk() the error, return an error code.

These comments aren't at all helpful.

Actually it's called COPYING.

Don't put semi-colons on the end of macros.

Probably shouldn't be declared inline - the compiler can work that out.
(And yes, this is hypocrisy on my part.)

If rx_q_len is always a power of two, you can mask and avoid a division
(relatively slow).

You should use BUG_ON, not your own assertion macros.

The cast is redundant.

Why not atomic_dec()?

It looks like you should create a separate function for the LRO case.

Redundant assignment.

Redundant cast.  We all know what GFP_ATOMIC is used for and the compiler
is happy to convert it.

Why are you making an assertion about a constant?  Perhaps you want
something like:

#define MAX_POST_RX_BUFS 64 /* should be even # <= 255. */

and then you can use a compile-time assertion:

	BUILD_BUG_ON(MAX_POST_RX_BUFS > 255 || MAX_POST_RX_BUFS & 1);

You're assuming PAGE_SIZE == 4096.

These lines appear to be redundant.

Can't you leave this to ethtool and linkwatch?

get_stat_sem is declared as an unsigned long, so why are you treating it as
struct semaphore?

That's as far as I read.  I'll leave the rest for others.
