The thread with the initial upstream is: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/16/918 I have addressed the following: - Documentation - Use of dev_dbg instead of pr_dbg - Change to misc class - Fixed memory barrier usages - Addressed styling, checkpatch, renaming of functions - General fixes to the driver to make it more inline with existing upstream drivers.
