Since you are using PHYLIB, you should not require MII.

No module parameters please. You have the need ethtool ops to control
this.

No inline functions in C code, let the compiler decide.

Nit pick, but i would invert the logic here, to make it more natural.

No, return the error code which dm9051_xfer() returns.

This should be an int function, which returns 0, or the error code
which dm9051_xfer() returns.

and here you need to look for an error from dm9051_ior() and return it
to the caller etc.

You should check for an error before doing the dm9051_iow(). And don't
return -ETIMEDOUT, return whatever read_poll_timeout() returns as an
error code.

Your error handling in this driver needs a lot of work. Please improve
it for the next submission. Error codes need returning as far as
possible up the call stack.
