License comment, why is this dual licensed?  You are calling
gpl-only-marked functions in this driver so attempting to say it is also
BSD is quite odd, how are you going to resolve that?

Has a lawyer agreed with this licensing?

Please get a lawyer to sign off on your next contribution of this with a
dual license to ensure that they agree and that you all fully understand
the legal issues and complexity of attempting to have dual-licensed
Linux kernel code (hint, it's not as simple as you might think...)

And document in the changelog _why_ you want this to be dual licensed so
that we can all review that as well.

thanks,

greg k-h
