I think using tabs at the end of the line to line up the "\" is much
better than what you're changing it to, that being spaces.

If you're going to put forth the effort to put spaces around the
"=" characters, fix up the arguments to mdio_read() as well, there
needs to be a space after the "," and right before the second
argument.

There is no need for the new parenthesis you are adding here.  It
doesn't change things semantically, and it does not improve
readability, it just makes for more characters a human has to parse in
his mind.

I'm not sure at all that you have the ability to make this kind of
change to the copyright and attributions here.

There are probably a lot more problems with this patch, but I'm
exhausted look at this stuff as-is.
