Let's start with some easy ones that might not be critical by itself
but help making the driver look like a normal Linux driver:

 - replace enum hal_bool with the normal bool type
 - replace A_MAX usage with the normal max/max_t macros
 - just use ASSERT instead of assert
 - think about doing the same for KASSERT
 - kill memzero
 - kill get_dma_mem_context and copy_dma_mem_context
 - replace the various debug message print helpers with standard
   Linux infrastructure
