Hello.

    Your patch summary prefixes are too verbose, it was enough to say only 
"dm9000: ".

    The networking code formats comments this way:

/* foo
  * bar
  */

    I don't recommend checking for 0 and returning early in this case -- 
you'll signal a probe success this way. Either ignore 0 or return -E<smth>
in this case. Unfortunately, platform_get_irq() is so sloppily coded now that 
it *can* return 0 on error. :-(
