Looks like these tabs should be spaces?

I know a lot of drivers do this, but module parameters are not
liked. There is a well used ethtool setting for this, msglvl, which
should be used instead. Which in fact, you have support for.

No need to tell the hardware? Does it work in promiscuous mode by
default?

Maybe a netif_carrier_off() in there, to be symmetric with open?

Version is pretty pointless. We suggest you don't use it. The ethtool
core will then fill it with the kernel version,

That is not correct. Maybe you should add a IF_PORT_HOMEPLUG ?

Is there an ID register you can read to determine what device you
actually have? If so, i suggest you verify the correct compatible is
used.
