Putting to a single line leads to "line over 80 characters" warning
from checkpatch.pl.  Would you still advice to do that?

Same here.  These lead to checkpatch warnings.

strncmp() is fine without these, but it'd be prudent in case someone
decides to print these strings with printk().  Will do.

'data' here is private to the caller.  So, I do not think we need to
define the bits.  Shall I change the name to 'driver_data' to make it
more explicit?
