There is already a CONFIG_KS8851 and a drivers/net/ks8851.c driver in Linus's tree right now. So it completely conflicts with your's I'm getting burnt out going back and forth trying to apply this patch and it doesn't apply cleanly or there's already a driver with that name etc. This is a complete mess and a very poor driver submission. Please get things straight, look at how other developers write their commit messages and signoffs (your's was in bad style and the signoff was not in the format described in linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches, for example).
