I don't find any netdev calls in this. No alloc_netdev or
register_netdev. How are you supposed to use this code?

The device tree binding documentation is missing.

There are also a number of inline functions.

Has this code been reviewed by the usual Intel Open Source Technology
people? GregKH kept pushing for this code to go through those people
so that the code gets a good internal review and fixed up before it is
posted yet again.
