General:

   1. I would appreciate more carefully worded comments
   (or any comments, especially descriptions of interfaces
   to be used by other drivers)

   2. Please convert *all* initialisers to the new style.
   Not
          { tag: value, ... }
   but
          { .tag = value, ... }

In the configuration help:

Can pnp support no longer be compiled as a module?

What do you mean by "causing a conflict"?

"Docking" -> "docking"

For the device list ...

On my Thinkpad 600X, lspnp prints out: "PNP0680 mass storage device: IDE"

Why isn't this one in order?

Typo.

Somewhere you might want to include these:
ID("IBM3780", "IBM pointing device")
ID("IBM0071", "IBM infrared communications device")
ID("IBM3760", "IBM DSP")
ID("CSC0000", "Crystal Semiconductor CS423x sound -- SB/WSS/OPL3 emulation")
ID("CSC0010", "Crystal Semiconductor CS423x sound -- control")
ID("CSC0001", "Crystal Semiconductor CS423x sound -- joystick")
ID("CSC0003", "Crystal Semiconductor CS423x sound -- MPU401")

                                  ^^^^^^
Typo.  And is the length OK?
