Sure. I will do.
I created device tree binding header file. i will submit in different patch.

I ran the checkpatch. I did not find any error. I created another workspace and
applied the same patch. It shows the correct alignement. I have used tabs (8 
space width).
then some spaces to align braces.

This is some magic value which just gets written into the register.

In device tree file, defined in davinci_mdio structure:

        vsc8531_0: ethernet-phy@0 {
                compatible = "ethernet-phy-id0007.0570";
                reg = <0>;
                vsc8531,edge-rate = /bits/ 8 <MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_FASTEST>;
        };

In device tree binding header file, MACRO has defined as
i.e. include/dt-bindings/net/mscc-vsc8531.h

/* MAC interface Edge rate control pad */
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_SLOWEST      0x0
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_PLUS_1       0x1
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_PLUS_2       0x2
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_PLUS_3       0x3
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_PLUS_4       0x4
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_PLUS_5       0x5
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_PLUS_6       0x6
#define MSCC_EDGE_RATE_CNTL_FASTEST      0x7

VSC 8531 driver don't have any private structure assigned initially.
Allways priv points to NULL. 
Allocate vsc8531 private structure and initialize by calling vsc8531_of_init( )
function.

Yes. Default values configured as Fast Edge rate control (i.e.0b111).
Edge rate control has defined 3 bits (Bit 7:5) in register.
Hardware default value is 3 (i.e. 0b111)
