I only noticed one real issue with the driver:

You should generall not use bitfields in hardware data structures, as that is
not endian safe and will prevent running a big-endian kernel on this machine.
Better convert this to a set of __le32 fields and explicit shifts and masks.

Two smaller things you should think about, I'm not entirely sure about these:
+static int hix5hd2_rx(struct net_device *dev, int limit)
+{
+	struct hix5hd2_priv *priv = netdev_priv(dev);
+	struct sk_buff *skb;
+	struct hix5hd2_desc *desc;
+	dma_addr_t dma_addr;
+	u32 start, end, num, pos, i, len;
+
+	/* software read pointer */
+	start = dma_cnt(readl_relaxed(priv->base + RX_BQ_RD_ADDR));
+	/* logic write pointer */
+	end = dma_cnt(readl_relaxed(priv->base + RX_BQ_WR_ADDR));
I think one of these needs to be readl() instead of readl_relaxed(),
to ensure the data is correctly ordered with regard to the pointer
access.
+	if (pos != start)
+		writel(dma_byte(pos), priv->base + TX_RQ_RD_ADDR);
While this looks like it could be writel_relaxed().
