Some necessary modification for DM9000 series chips to be better in operation!

Had tested to all of DM9000 series chips, include DM9000E, DM9000A, DM9000B,
and DM9000C in X86 and ARM embedded Linux system these years.

These kinds of comments are absolutely inapproprate.

Interesting, this had been sent to me privately at about the same time.
For the record, here's what I sent back:

I'll take a quick look at it.  But the only true way to know whether it's
ready, of course, is to post it to the public lists.

The patch will be better received if you say what "better in operation"
actually means.  Are you supporting new hardware, adding new features,
fixing bugs?  Hopefully not more than one of those in a single patch.

I would lose the [KERN-ADD*] comments, those will certainly draw some
grumbling when the patch is posted publicly.  They don't add any value; the
repository will show which changes were made when.

So "better in operation" means more log messages?  This, too, will likely
draw complaints.  That could be a lot of log messages!  The additional
information is also probably unnecessary, netdev_info() should print the
relevant device information.

Magic constants aren't good, you can't define a symbol for that?

dm900_poll_work() is a workqueue function, right?  So it can sleep.  So you
should almost certainly use msleep() rather than mdelay().

Again, can we avoid the magic constants?

You say "Enable PHY" but I see no change that does that?
Again, msleep() would be better here - an open function can certainly
sleep!

What is the purpose of this change?

That should be unnecessary; that information is available in
/proc/interrupts, and probably via ethtool too.

What is accomplished by this change?  Should it maybe be a parameter to
dm9000_reset()?
