Hi Brad,

Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve:

[auto build test WARNING on net-next/master]

url:    https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Brad-Mouring/net-macb-Reorganize-macb_mii-bringup/20180311-133616
config: i386-randconfig-x012-201810 (attached as .config)
compiler: gcc-7 (Debian 7.3.0-1) 7.3.0
reproduce:
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        make ARCH=i386 

Note: it may well be a FALSE warning. FWIW you are at least aware of it now.

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):
