You can fix the mace_set_timeout() function arguments by having
a helper function that simply wraps around it and provides the
second expection of argument types.

Your patch is also wrong, it's missing a lot of netdev_ops
entries that are implicitly obtained via alloc_etherdev(),
namely:

        .ndo_change_mtu         = eth_change_mtu,
        .ndo_set_mac_address    = eth_mac_addr,
        .ndo_validate_addr      = eth_validate_addr,
