Ah yes, this check is not needed at all. Will correct it.

Yes, noted. Will do it.

Ah ok, then it is supposed to be like below, isn't it?

static int lan865x_set_mac_address(struct net_device *netdev, void *addr)
{
	struct sockaddr *address = addr;
	int ret;

	if (netif_running(netdev))
		return -EBUSY;

	ret = lan865x_set_hw_macaddr(netdev);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	eth_hw_addr_set(netdev, address->sa_data);

	return 0;
}

Sure, will split into multiple functions.

oa_tc6_init() function internally calls oa_tc6_configure() function to 
configure different settings. At the end it writes SYNC bit to CONFIG0 
register which enables the MAC-PHY to start the data transfer. So the 
buffer configuration should be done prior to that. Since this is part of 
the configuration this callback is implemented.

Going to remove all the OA specific configurations in the next revisions.
