drivers/net/ethernet/apple/mac89x0.c is a driver for the Crystal

(Now Cirrus Logic) CS89[02]0, so it belongs in
drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus,

next to cs89x0.c.
And on the first -next run since its inclusion:

| drivers/net/ethernet/apple/mac89x0.c:107:20: error: cs89x0.h: No
such file or directory

it needs the (shared) header file which is in
drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus/.

Ah, yeah, now it is coming back to me why I placed cs89x0.[ch] in the
drivers/net/ethernet/apple/ because it was grouped with the "common"
drivers.  The intent was to group drivers that use common code together.

I can put together a patch to fix this if you are not able to.
I will create a patch to move mac89x0 to .../cirrus, when I get to compiling a
Mac kernel myself.
