Re: [patch 3.8-rc2] drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ks8851_mll

[Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>]

Again this needs a proper subject, like 'ks8851_mll: Implement basic
statistics'.

It should be based on the 'net-next' tree.

You're subtracting 4 for the CRC?  That really shouldn't be visible to
the kernel (unless the NETIF_F_RXFCS feature is enabled on the device).
So you should also substract 4 from the length passed to skb_put().
(That would be a separate patch, probably suitable for the 'net' tree.)

[...]

These two increment statements are indented wrongly.
