Please stop top-posting ;-)

btw I think you might need a mutex around the entire:

+static void calibrate_as3935(struct as3935_state *st)
+{
+       /* mask disturber interrupt bit */
+       as3935_write(st, AS3935_INT, 1 << 5);
+
+       as3935_write(st, AS3935_CALIBRATE, 0x96);
+       as3935_write(st, AS3935_TUNE_CAP, 1 << 5 | st->tune_cap);
+
+       mdelay(2);
+       as3935_write(st, AS3935_TUNE_CAP, st->tune_cap);
+}

and similar functions where you do a bunch of register accesses. This is because 
you probably want to protect them against concurent execution so the chip won't 
be confused if a user were to poke something via SYSFS twice.

Best regards,
