Hello Daniel,

You should send the i2c parts to Jean Delvare and Ben Dooks, the I2C 
maintainers. Ethernet part should be sent to the netdev mailing-list.

You can send the other pending parts to their respective maintainers, since 
your drivers will be either platform drivers, and/or they depend on 
CONFIG_NXP_STB225, they can be merged now, and get active when MIPS code is 
merged as well.

I have posted some comments below in the body of your email, code looks 
overall very good.

You might want to get rid of such comments with lines of *, and probably 
reorder the inclusion to include first linux then asm headers.

What about defining those resources anyway ?

Same here and others below too.

You might want to put this in an header file instead.

You might want to use cpu_relax(); instead of the assembly wait instruction.

And put some less alarming message here, like "*** You can safely turn off the 
board".

You can move the GPIO code into its own C file, and use arch_initcall to 
initialise it. Prefixing gpio_init with pnx83xx is better to be consistent 
with other functions. See below for more comments about the GPIO code.

Useless cast to void * __iomem in general, did your compiler produced a 
warning on this ?

Netdev people will probably ask you to use NAPI unconditionnaly for new 
drivers.

You should consider using the GPIO library, or read what is done for BCM47xx, 
AU1000 and TX4938. This should be easy since you comply with most of your 
functions to this GPIO API. Providing your board specific gpio functions, the 
rest of the API will handle locking and interrupt context for you.

Also, prefix your functions so that they will not collide with the other 
implementations naming scheme.

Such functions might be provided by the C file instead, in the archicture 
code. Remapping GPIO registers or things like that can be done there as well 
at board boot time.
