Hi Brad

For netdev it is normal to include a cover note for patch series,
which explains the big picture of the series. The cover note is then
used as the merge commit message.

These should be in 'Reverse Christmas Tree' order. i.e. longest
first. That makes pdata tricky, so do the assignment in the body of
the function.

I would say these two are to do with the mdio bus setup. Setting irq
to POLL is not required, the core will do that. So you could add one
patch removing that.
