I think you should keep most of those includes. For instance this file uses 
spinlock functions, so linux/spinlock.h should be included. It might work fine 
now due to nested includes, but if someone reorganizes the kernel headers 
internal includes then the driver might break. As a general rule of good 
practice you should include headers for all the APIs you use.
