What PHY driver are you using? It would be much better to have this in
the PHY driver. The MAC driver should not be touching the PHY.

Why PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO()

reverse christmas tree. There are a few more cases. Please review the
whole driver.

If dm9051_map_xmitpoll() returns an error code, use it. There needs to
be a good reason to change the error code, and if you have such a good
reason, please add a comment about it.

When are mutex's not essential? This commit seems to be
meaningless. It gives the impression you don't understand mutex's and
locking in general. You have just added mutex until it seems to work,
not that you have a locking design.

The phy driver should do this. Again, what PHY driver are you using?

Cam you still access the PHY after this? Does it loose its
configuration?

If you have to touch these, something is wrong. Please explain.
