I did a review now and this looks pretty good to me. Kconfig has a
different license and lots of static/extern variables which are not
const, otherwise I only saw smaller issues. But I do have to admit that
after mac.h (in alphabetical order) my review was more on the sloppy
side, this is a large driver.
The community has been testing this driver already, right?
I pushed the driver to the pending branch for build testing:
