The netdev coding style still sticks to the "80 characters per line" rule.
I can't find other deviations from this rule in the driver.

Maybe you can cut down on the boilerplate a little bit. Like:

/**
 * struct vsc73xx_ops - VSC73xx methods container
 * @read: Method for register reading over the hardware-dependent interface
 * @write: Method for register writing over the hardware-dependent interface
