Hi Christophe and Herve,

some minor feedback from my side.

Please arrange local variable declarations for Networking code
using reverse xmas tree order - longest line to shortest.

checkpatch.pl --codespell is your friend here

nit: usally -> usually

As this is a kernel-doc, please include documentation for
the defined constants: FRAMER_IFACE_E1 and FRAMER_IFACE_T1.

Likewise here too.
