Given this is GPLed here, does the first block need to exist?

These comments are pretty unusual and likely incomplete
so they're probably not useful.

default on?  Likely default off would be better.

	if (netif_msg_<foo>(priv))
		netdev_<level>(netdev, ...)

uses can be written like:

	netif_<level>(priv, <foo>, netdev, ...);

So this is perhaps better as

	if (likely(fd->status & FM_FD_STAT_ERR_PHYSICAL))
		pr_warn_once("non-zero error counters in fman statistics (sysfs)\n");
	else if (net_ratelimit())
		netif_err(priv, hw, net_dev, "Err FD status = 0x%08x\n",
			  fd->status & FM_FD_STAT_RX_ERRORS);

	netif_warn(priv, hw, net_dev, etc...);

Use of __cold is pretty unusual in drivers

No need for this alloc failure message

Why emit using dev.parent?

Marking a function prototype with an attribute means
the implementation doesn't need the same attribute.

Maybe these are better as static inlines?
