Sorry about the late reply. It seems I missed seeing this completely
until you reminded Kevin about it.

The patch looks good to me except some minor issues. I made those
changes myself locally since I am the one guilty of getting back on this
so late. See below:

The patch doesn't apply to the latest kernel anymore. I resolved that.

Checkpatch asks us to use pr_warn() instead. Fixed that. Also, used
__func__ to print function name. Rob Tivy has patches fixing these all
through this file.
