How do you know that this way there is no race with any of ACPI code?

No need to duplicate. See (1) below.

Can you put comment before the definition?

Why in hex?

Missed blank line here.

Check grammar everywhere, again missed period (at least).

_LOCK_DELAY_MS and drop useless comment

I think I gave the very same comments before. Maybe you can check the
reviews of another driver?

Leave comma here and everywhere else in the structure entries.

Besides that, would it be better to have it defined as a compound literal?

Perhaps kernel doc and use of BIT()?

Instead of comments, use form of

[FOO] = BAR(...),

It's a bit long and better to leave ' |' on the previous line(s).

Ditto for all other similar cases.

Kernel doc?

' & 0xff00' part is redundant.

Useless wrapper. It adds no value.

What's wrong with post-decrement, and I think I already commented on this.
So, I stopped here until you go and enforce all comments given against
previous incarnation of this driver.

Interesting way of NIH for_each_set_bit().

Why pre-increments?

It looks awful (indentation), Have you run checkpatch?

Redundant.
