Be specific.  What *exact* smsc device are you adding support for?
Wildcards like smc91x tend to cause problems in the future.

You should not unconditionally put the 'of' device table into the
module image, otherwise the module will be marked as being able to
support OF based devices but the code to support that won't actually
be comiled into the module.

Applied to net-next-2.6, thanks.

The smc91x driver relies on many parameters which are platform specific, 
such as the bus width capabilities, register spacing due to special bus 
wiring, interrupt signal level, LED configuration, whether or not to 
configure the chip with a wait state, etc.  Will the device tree support 
take care of those things?

Short answer, yes

In general bindings are written and documented as they are needed.  In
this specific case,yes the device configuration should be encoded into
the device tree node.  It is okay for now to not wire up any of that
configuration if the defaults work for Thomas' platform, but to be
useful in the long run they do need to be added.

Typically a block or function call is added to the drivers .probe hook
to decode device tree data if the of_node pointer is set.
