This doesn't even build cleanly:

drivers/net/ks8851_mll.c: In function ‘ks_inblk’:
drivers/net/ks8851_mll.c:555: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
drivers/net/ks8851_mll.c:558: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘_readw’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
drivers/net/ks8851_mll.c: In function ‘ks_outblk’:
drivers/net/ks8851_mll.c:571: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
drivers/net/ks8851_mll.c:574: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘_writew’ makes pointer from integer without a cast

It also has a big "#define DEBUG" at the beginning of the driver.

And it also has stuff like:

+#define MALLOC(x)		kmalloc(x, GFP_KERNEL)

which actually decreases the readability of this driver.

Please fix this up.
