Thank you all for the review comments. I believe most of the issues
have been addressed in the patch just posted. I apologize if there are
still issues, and certainly appreciate further comments.

David Miller's comments:
1. Use u32, u16, etc. -> Done.
2. Bad code formating -> Fixed, I believe. Went through everything.
3. Call netif_start_queue() after hw init -> Done.
4. Device only supports IPv4? -> Yes, that's correct. No IPv6 support.
The driver squashes everything but IPv4 in eth2ss().
5. No need for suspend/resume NOPs -> Done. functions removed.

Randy Dunlap's comments:
1. Remove /** comments -> Done.
2. Odd spacing -> I'm not seeing this. Spacing looks correct to me.
3. Limit while (1) loops somehow -> Done.
4. Limit while (1) in intr handler -> In practice we've never seen more
than a few packets processed per interrupt.

Ben Hutching's comments:
1. Spacing looks correct -> Thanks.

Stephen Hemminger's comments:
1. Add ndo_validate_address -> Done
2. May want to use alloc_netdev() -> Didn't do this. Would there be a
substantial advantage to doing this?
3. memset() unnecessary -> removed
