trivial notes about message logging:

[]

+					NETIF_MSG_LINK | NETIF_MSG_IFUP |
+					NETIF_MSG_IFDOWN);

[]

+static int altera_tse_mdio_create(struct net_device *dev, unsigned int id)

[]

+	mdio->irq = kcalloc(PHY_MAX_ADDR, sizeof(int), GFP_KERNEL);
+	if (mdio->irq == NULL) {
+		dev_err(priv->device, "%s: Cannot allocate memory\n", __func__);

OOM messages aren't necessary as all allocs have
a generic OOM message as well as a dump_stack();
(well, any alloc without GFP_NOWARN)

+	ret = of_mdiobus_register(mdio, mdio_node);
+	if (ret != 0) {
+		dev_err(priv->device, "Cannot register MDIO bus %s\n",
+			mdio->id);

Because you have a struct net_device * available,
you should probably use that.

		netdev_err(dev, "Cannot register MDIO bus %s\n", mdio->id);

+		goto out_free_mdio_irq;
+	}
+
+	if (netif_msg_drv(priv))
+		dev_info(priv->device, "MDIO bus %s: created\n", mdio->id);

There are generic functions for this with the struct net_device *

	netif_info(priv, drv, dev, "MDIO bus %s: created\n", mdio->id);

+static void altera_tse_mdio_destroy(struct net_device *dev)
+{

[]

+	if (netif_msg_drv(priv))
+		dev_info(priv->device, "MDIO bus %s: removed\n",
+			 priv->mdio->id);

	netif_info(priv, drv, dev, "MDIO bus %s: removed\n, priv->mdio->id);

[]

+static int tse_init_rx_buffer(struct altera_tse_private *priv,
+			      struct tse_buffer *rxbuffer, int len)
+{
+	rxbuffer->skb = netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(priv->dev, len);
+	if (!rxbuffer->skb) {
+		dev_err(priv->device, "%s: Rx init fails; skb is NULL\n",
+			__func__);

		netdev_err(priv->dev, "%s: etc...)

but this is also a generic alloc and will get the same generic OOM.

+	if (dma_mapping_error(priv->device, rxbuffer->dma_addr)) {
+		dev_err(priv->device, "%s: DMA mapping error\n", __func__);

		netdev_err(priv->dev, etc...)

etc...
