This text looks like it has been copied verbatim from a errata
sheet. If so, that document is probably under someone else's
copyright. If am right, then you should paraphrase the erratum
instead, both here and in the code comment.

We don't do change logs in the code. That is what git is for.

Also, I think it is a bit of a stretch to add your copyright here.

Trailing white space. Line is way too long.

I would either put this 'else' with the 'if' on the same line, or add
braces like in the other cases.

spacing, and way too long line.

	return (int) phydev->priv & PHYDEV_PRIV_REVA2 ?
		lxt973a2_read_status(phydev) : genphy_read_status(phydev);

spacing, and a long line.

You might want to try checkpatch next time.
