Hi Allen,

[CCing netdev, keeping .c/.h source attached]

Ah, from looking at the code DM9000C looks like it is some nerwork chip,
what platforms does it show up on?

It would be nice if you could include the changes to Kconfig/Makefile
including a description as it's not clear on what kind of devices the
chip can be encountered.

Also please properly tag the source files attachments as text/plain.


With a quick glance at the code:
- your comments are often single-line C++ style //
  and should be changed to /*  */.

- comments that look like author/revision tags

- there are blocks of code commented or inside if (1) {}

- some printk calls missing KERN_ severity tag

- indentation issues


Please fix above issues (and have a look at scripts/checkpatch.pl) and
respin (as a patch) taking care to CC netdev so network people have to
chance to see it.

Bruno
