Would you be willing to work with Linux kernel developers to integrate
the useful changes in this driver into the kernel?

The driver you posted is my driver, version 0.9.15, which is an older
version of the kernel's driver and doesn't include many changes made
since then.

If you are seeing a problem, please describe in detail the problem so
that kernel developers may fix it in the current kernel's 8139too.c.

This is the preferred driver for the 8139C+ chip, as it included many
bug fixes and is much faster than the version from RealTek.
