A few comments:

1. Please wrap the patch description lines at 80 characters

2. You should Cc the networking devices mailing list at netdev at vger.kernel.org 
   on this patch

3. Please separate changes to generic code (like ethtool, phy) from changes to 
   a specific driver (like cpsw).

By the way, this cpsw driver does not appear to exist in the current mainline 
kernel. When sending a patch against a development tree, please specify which 
one.
