Hi Oleksij,

The driver looks generally ok, but unfortunately contains some things
which require some work to fix.

Inside drivers you should generally use dev_dbg and friends. I think
these 'I entered a function' kind of debug functions are often not useful
for other people, so you should consider removing them completely.

Please use writel to access registers.

Is this needed?

Please register a resource for the device like the other drivers do.

return platform_driver_register();

This is unused.

also unused.

It's good practice to protect variables in macros with braces,
so:

#define RCVPKT_LENGTH(X)     ((X)  >> 16)

Otherwise surprises may happen...

No typedef struct please. Use the struct type directly.
Also remove the volatile in favor of proper register accessors.
