Do you want this to go directly to kernel, or do you want help
fixing coding issues by submitting to staging tree?

The code uses a comment style that is kind of like the existing
docbook comment style; why not convert it to use the official
docbook style for examples look at other kernel code:
/**
 *	dev_alloc_skb - allocate an skbuff for receiving
 *	@length: length to allocate
 *
 *	Allocate a new &sk_buff and assign it a usage count of one. The
 *	buffer has unspecified headroom built in. Users should allocate
 *	the headroom they think they need without accounting for the
 *	built in space. The built in space is used for optimisations.
 *
 *	%NULL is returned if there is no free memory. Although this function
 *	allocates memory it can be called from an interrupt.
 */

The code is also indented with a non-standard indentation format.
Please read Documentation/CodingStyle.  Indentation is supposed
to be 4 characters (and using tabs of 8 characters).


The PCI device table could be changed to:

static DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(pch_gbe_pcidev_id) = {
    { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_IOH1_GBE) },
    { 0 }
};
Also PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_IOH1_GBE is not defined anywhere I can see.
