Can't you make plf_usb_wreq() to a void pointer? Then that ugly "const
u8 *" cast is not needed.

unit_type_t -> unit_type

Extra space after u8.

No need to assign fpga_dmabuff to NULL.

Looks like a useless abstraction to me, just use ieee80211_stop_queues()
and ieee80211_wake_queues() directly.

I'm against this kind of documentation in wireless drivers, they get out

Correct format is:

No static variables, "static const" are only exceptions. Otherwise two
devices on the same host won't work correctly.

Please move the variable declaration to the beginning of the function.

AFAICS, purelife is the vendor and plfxlc is the driver, so you should
"plfxlc_" as the prefix here.

Move the comment before the actual code.

I'm going to stop commenting about comment format now, you should know

No space after #. Applies to all usage in the driver.

This does not look endian safe.

Magic value. A proper struct for these 8 bytes would be the best way to
document and access it.

Ok, so that struct should start with a mac address.

I remember if I said this already, but no "_f" style of naming. What

I didn't check, but I suspect you are misusing atomic variables here.
Just use SET_BIT() & co.

urb->context is a void pointer, no need to cast it.

Yeah, just use TEST_BIT().

No "_p" naming either. Is that hungarian notation or what? Anyway, we
don't use that in upstream.

A pointless comment. You can change the integer to an enum
(PLFXLC_RADIO_ON) if you want to document clearly when it's turned on.

Misuse of atomic variables again, SET_BIT().

This static variable actually might be ok as it's called only from
usb_init() and usb_exit(). Just rename it to plfxlc_workqueue.

I see that you have MODULE_LICENSE() three times:

chip.c.97:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
mac.c.841:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
usb.c.1006:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

But you only have one module. So remove MODULE_LICENSE() from chip.c and
mac.c, and leave it only here.
