Re: [PATCH v6 3/5] net: ax88796c: ASIX AX88796C SPI Ethernet Adapter Driver

ASIX AX88796[1] is a versatile ethernet adapter chip, that can be
connected to a CPU with a 8/16-bit bus or with an SPI. This driver
supports SPI connection.

The driver has been ported from the vendor kernel for ARTIK5[2]
boards. Several changes were made to adapt it to the current kernel
which include:

+ updated DT configuration,
+ clock configuration moved to DT,
+ new timer, ethtool and gpio APIs,
+ dev_* instead of pr_* and custom printk() wrappers,
+ removed awkward vendor power managemtn.
+ introduced ethtool tunable to control SPI compression

The other ax88796 driver is for NE2000 compatible AX88796L chip. These
chips are not compatible. Hence, two separate drivers are required.

Please make sure the new code builds cleanly with W=1 C=1
