Just a small nitpick, and I'm not sure it's relevant somewhere in the
code: previously the mapping of symbols to numbers was bijective, but
now it is no longer surjective. This may result in confusion when
checking return codes, for example:

    int ret = e1000_set_phy_mode(...;
    if (ret == E1000_ERR_EEPROM) { 
        printf("could not read from eeprom\n");
    } else if (ret == E1000_ERR_PHY) {
        printf("could not write to phy register\n");
    }

In this case, when the e1000_set_phy_mode() code path returns
E1000_ERR_PHY, it is interpreted as E1000_ERR_EEPROM because both are
defined to EIO.
