I intentionally left it lowercase, because the term 'embedded
controller' is not used in code coming from Netronix. It's just a label
that I found fitting to assign to the device. (In the vendor kernels
it's either called 'msp430', named after the TI MSP430 microcontroller
family, or 'uc', presumably for 'microcontroller')

Adding '(EC)' seems somewhat useful.

No particular reason. If you prefer 2-or-later, I'll change it.

Alright, I'll add it

Okay

Okay, I'll break it up.

Yes, but it didn't complain about this line. - propabably because the
line length threshold in checkpatch has recently been increased to 100.

I thought it would be useful when we want to attach additional
information to specific versions.... okay, it is over-engineered.

Will do.

Indeed, EOPNOTSUPP seems quite wrong here. I think I used ENOTSUPP at
some earlier point but moved away from it because it's one of the
internal error codes (≥512).

ENODEV makes sense when I read it as "Not a device that this driver can
deal with".

Alright, I'll remove them.

No particular reason. I'll make them consistent.

At this point, nothing. I'll remove it.
