Hello.

In of_mdiobus_register(), the __be32 *addr variable is dereferenced.
This will not work on little-endian targets.  Also since it is
unsigned, checking for less than zero is redundant.

Fix these two issues.

goto's are fine for jumping to the end of a function to unwind
allocations, but please don't use it in this manner.  The original
structure will actually work just fine if you do it thusly:

                if (!paddr || len<  sizeof(*paddr) ||
                    *(addr = be32_to_cpup(paddr))>= 32) {
                        dev_err(&mdio->dev, "%s has invalid PHY address\n",
                                child->full_name);
                        continue;
                }

Otherwise this patch looks good. After you've reworked and retested
I'll pick it up for 2.6.37 (or dave will).

Actually, I mistyped this.  I think it should be:

                if (!paddr || len<  sizeof(*paddr) ||
                    (addr = be32_to_cpup(paddr))>= 32) {

  This assignment would probably cause checkpatch.pl to complain...
