Hi Stephen,
thank you for your suggestions.
I already applied trivial fixes, but I have questions on some points, see inline.

General comments:
  * device driver does no carrier detection. This makes it useless
    for bridging, bonding, or any form of failover.

  * use msglevel method (via ethtool) to control debug messages
    rather than kernel configuration. This allows enabling debugging
    without recompilation which is important in distributions.

  * Please add ethtool support

  * Consider using NAPI

Can you point me to a possibly simple driver that uses ethtool and NAPI? Or other example that I can use for reference.
May be the skeleton should be updated.

 * use netdev_priv(netdev) rather than netdev->priv

I can't find where I used netdev->priv, may be do you mean priv->netdev?

That is a really short TX timeout, should be 2 seconds at least not 1/2 sec.
Having it less than a second causes increased wakeups.

Rename something shorter like enc28j60_net or just enc28j60?
Ok, renamed enc28j60_net

Use mutex (or spin_lock) rather than semaphore

Not sure why you need to have workqueue's for
tx_work and irq_work, rather than using a spin_lock
and doing directly.
I need irq_work for sure because it needs to go sleep. Any
access to enc28j60 registers are through SPI blocking transaction, spi_sync(). I'm not sure if the hard_start_xmit() can go sleep, so I used a work queue to tx too.

I wouldn't bother marking these as "inline" since the compiler
will decide to inline in most cases.  By telling the compiler to
inline it may generate bigger/slower code.

Why not declare the transfer buffer as an array in spi?
I don't understand exactly what do you mean here.
spi field point to struct spi_device from SPI subsystem.
Other SPI client driver uses an allocated buffer too.
