The asix_common.c includes asix.h. There you see that the common driver 
supports following devices:
AX88172
AX88772
AX88178
but it is not supporting AX88179 and AX88178a, they have a separate 
driver called ax88179_178a.c
These two have a different style in accessing MAC registers and PHY

OK

OK (was just copy'n'paste from the linux driver)

was OK for ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
but I can change that

Thats right, if I do not align I get unaligned accesses during USB 
communication.
Is there a smarter solution for that?
