I'll be more than happy to take your suggestions.

OK.

It appears, however, that 0 means OK and 1 !OK. Do you think changing to
TRUE and FALSE (or FALSE and TRUE) is required?

Done. The result seems only slightly more elegant since the generic
read_poll_timeout() needs to be employed.

Yes, it can. When the cable is unplugged, parts of of the chip enter
power saving mode and the values in registers change.

The manufacturer says

    The AX88796C integrates on-chip Fast Ethernet MAC and PHY, [=E2=80=A6]

There is a single integrated PHY in this chip and no possiblity to
connect external one. Do you think it makes sense in such case to
introduce the additional layer of abstraction?

What about systems without DT? Not every bootloader is sophisicated
enough to edit DT before starting kernel. AX88786C is a chip that can be
used in a variety of systems and I'd like to avoid too strong
assumptions.

Of course reading MAC address from DT is a good idea and I will add it.

But it does not work during boot.

I don't want to be considered as the only author and as far as I can
tell being mentioned as an author does not imply being a
maintainer. Do you think two MODULE_AUTHOR()s be OK?

This one and the one below, are to manage device's PM state during this

Maybe it's the naming that is a problem. Yes, it is not a watchdog, but
rather a periodic housekeeping and it kicks hw if it can't negotiate
the connection. The question is: should the settings be reset in such case.

I changed most netif_msg_*()+netdev_*() to netif_*(), including
netif_dbg() in several places. However, after reading other drivers I
decided to leave this at INFO level. I think this is the way to go,
because this is what user asks for and with dynamic debug enabled users
would have to ask for these in two different places.
