Maybe mention where the device is usually found (FPGAs) like you did in
the commit message, to help folks make a decision here?

netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() ...

\n at the end? You can skip it but be consistent across messages

... then skip this

Should this be counted somehow?

please remove the fields until they're actually used

carrier_off() for symmetry?

Why the need for poll if there is an interrupt?
Why not stop the Tx queue once you're out of slots and restart
it when the completion interrupt comes?

ratelimit this as well, please

Please count bytes and packets in the same place

`err` variable is not set here, you'd return 0

Please run checkpatch --strict and fix what it points out
