Putting the first value on the next line is a bit odd. This would be
preferred:

+			reg_val |= (EMAC_INT_CTL_TX_EN |
+                                   EMAC_INT_CTL_TX_ABRT_EN |
+				    EMAC_INT_CTL_RX_EN);

I also have to wonder why two | have become three? (0x01 << 8) is
clearly a single value. (0xf << 0) should either be a single macro, or
4 macros since 0xf is four bits. Without looking into the details, i
cannot say this is wrong, but it does look strange.
