Hi Bryan,

Why creating module's own kthread to call ad7142_decode and process keycodes 
instead of using a tasklet ?

Isn't disabling device interrupts from the begining of the ISR "ad7142_interrupt"
till the kthread "ad7142_thread" got waked-up and scheduled a long time,
espicially if there's a high load on the userspace side ?

Minor issues below.

Keeping last two lines aligned with their above counterparts ?

kzalloc.
