The parenthesis around the condition are unnecessary. If the compiler
does not warn it's okay to skip parenthesis. checkpatch should warn
about this. We assume kernel developers know the C operator precedence.

I think you should factor these checks out to a separate helper tho.
Create a helper like:

static bool rtl8152_needs_lenovo_macpassthru(dev)

that can use local variables to avoid the tediously long and repeated
le16_to_cpu(...) lines. Then just assign:

	tp->lenovo_macpassthru = rtl8152_needs_lenovo_macpassthru(dev);

Please CC Bjørn Mork <bjorn@...k.no> since he commented on the previous
version. I'd personally also love to see this solved in user space...
but have no clear idea how.
