I've nothing against this patch, but if you are working on the driver,
it would be nice to replace these hex numbers with #defines using BIT,
or FIELD. It will make the code more readable.

Replacing the constants with macros is on my list of things that I want
to do. In this case, I did not do it because I wanted to a have small
patch that gets easily accepted and allows me to figure out the current
process to submit patches after years of inactivity.

Agreed, keep fixes simple.

A few other hints. If you consider this a fix which should be back
ported, please add a Fixes: tag, where the issue started. This can be
back as far as the first commit for the driver. Fixes should also be
sent to the net tree, not net-next. See the netdev FAQ about the two
different trees.

I made a v2 of the patch and also added the prefix flag to indicate that
the patch is destined for the "next" tree. There is still something that
can be improved a about it, please let me know. Otherwise, I will also
resend the other patch that I sent for the driver to indicate that it is
destined for the "next" tree.

Kind regards,
