I was just browsing this patch when I noticed some of these issues - I
haven't done a full review of this driver, I'm just commenting on the
things I've spotted.

This is incorrect.

buf = buffer alloc()
/* CPU owns buffer and can read/write it, device does not */
dev_addr = dma_map_single(dev, buf, ..., DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
/* Device owns buffer and can write it, CPU does not access it */
dma_unmap_single(dev, dev_addr, ..., DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
/* CPU owns buffer again and can read/write it, device does not */

Please turn on DMA API debugging in the kernel debug options and verify
whether your driver causes it to complain (it will.)

I think you want dma_unmap_single() here.

This is a rather expensive way to do this.  Presumably the descriptors
are always big endian?  If so, why not:

		desc = skb->data;
		len = be16_to_cpu(desc->pkt_len);

?  You may need to lay the struct out differently for this to work so
the offset which pkt_len accesses is correct.

Also... do you not have any flags which indicate whether the packet
received was in error?

No need for virt_to_phys() here - dma_map_single() returns the device
address.

This doesn't look right - you're supposed to re-enable receive interrupts
when you receive less than "budget" packets.

What you get with this is the compiler generating code to test RCV_INT,
and then if that's false, code to test RCV_NOBUF.  There's no possibility
for the compiler to optimise that because it's part of the language spec
that condition1 || condition2 will always have condition1 evaluated first,
and condition2 will only be evaluated if condition1 was false.

	if (ists & (RCV_INT | RCV_NOBUF)) {

would more than likely be more efficient here.

Do you know for certain that interrupts were (and always will be) definitely
enabled prior to this point?  If not, you should use spin_lock_irqsave()..
spin_unlock_irqrestore().

dma_unmap_single(&ndev->dev, dev_addr, skb->len, DMA_TO_DEVICE) ?

It looks like your device zeros the send address when it has finished
transmitting - if this is true, then you will need to store dev_addr
separately for each transmit packet.

No processing of transmit statistics?

If you have freed up any packets, then you should call netif_wake_queue().
Do you not get any interrupts when a packet is transmitted?

Same comment here...

You shouldn't rely on this - you should stop the queue when you put the
last packet to fill the ring before returning from this function.  When
you clean the ring in your hip04_tx_reclaim() function, to wake the
queue.

Again, dma_map_single() gives you the device address, there's no need
to use virt_to_phys(), and there should be no need for a cast here
either.  Also consider cpu_to_be32() and similar for the other descriptor
writes.

As mentioned above, if you have filled the ring, you need to also call
netif_stop_queue() here.

If you're using devm_ioremap_resource(), you don't need to check the
resource above.  In any case, returning the value from IS_ERR() from
this function is not correct.

	res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
	priv->base = devm_ioremap_resource(d, res);
	if (IS_ERR(priv->base) {
		ret = PTR_ERR(priv->base);
		goto init_fail;
	}

You don't need to fill in ndev->base_addr (many drivers don't.)
