Might be simpler as:
	regs->version = 0x1000000 | (__u32)pdev->revision << 16 | pdev->device;

The block below is a bit confusing to me.

> +	memset(p, 0, PCH_GBE_REGS_LEN * (int)sizeof(u32));
 
It seems the memset is unnecessary as it's completely
overwritten below.

I think i'd be simpler to do something like:

	for (i = 0; i < PCH_GBE_MAC_REGS_LEN; i++)
		*regs_buff++ = ioread32(&hw->reg->INT_ST + i);

	/* PHY register */
	for (i = 0; i < PCH_GBE_PHY_REGS_LEN; i++) {
		pch_gbe_hal_read_phy_reg(&adapter->hw, i, &tmp);
		*regs_buff++ = tmp;
	}

You need to move the declaration of tmp out of the while.

Do these really need to be busy-waits?

Here too.  There are more of these too I'm not listing.
Perhaps you could review the logic a bit more.
