I'm not telling you to do any major changes, yet. Right now I'm trying
to understand why you are doing thing the way you are doing them.

Glue layer is usually an easy way to organise your driver into smaller
more manageable chunks, and most importantly, keep the core parts
generic. But just to be clear here, it is not always necessary - maybe
that's the case here.

You use a comment to describe what the lock protects. You can use
"scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict" to spot this kind of stuff for you.

Consistency makes any code better.

Yes, they belong to the DT, and there are already bindings. Dmitry
gave you the link to the bindings I think (thanks for that Dmitry).

I'm making a note about the comments only because right now I have to
rely on things like them to get an idea about what's going on. I don't
know anything about this chip.

I don't know anything about this chip.

Check drivers/usb/dwc3/. It is a nice example how to decouple the glue
layer from the core completely - there is no API, not even driver data
is passed beteen the two.

For library like solutions, check:
drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/
drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/
drivers/usb/host/xhci*
drivers/tty/serial/8250/

But again, glue layer is just a suggestion. It would be one way to rid
of most of the hardcoded stuff by moving it there. But if much of
the hard coded parts can be moved to DT instead, then there is most
likely no need for the glue layers in this case.
