"instance" -> "instantiate"
"mananage" -> "manage"

why does _init() have a static def in this C file but the other genhy_config_* 
funcs have a non-static def in the H file

missing space

does it really need to be dynamic ?  arent there static initializers so this 
can be done in .data ?

this is odd style.  why dont we stop jerkin around in all our code and 
introduce zalloc() already.  the first patch in this series has malloc/memset 
usage too.

what's this business all about ?  why wrap the phy addr ?

"0x%x" -> "%#x"

i'd stick a comment here about mii bus being limited to 7 bits as not everyone 
knows it

missing space after the "if"

need space before the "?"

should "no link" really return success ?

> +		if (phydev->duplex == DUPLEX_FULL){

need space before that "{"

the error comment seems kind of useless

embedded tab at the end of the comment doesnt belong

kind of useless to check the timer right away.  please convert to a do {...} 
while rather than a while {...}.

combine the puts()

i dont think we need all this ETHTOOL_xxx junk

or this

does WOL really make sense in u-boot ?
