So you have 2 different things happening in this driver. One is the USB
interaction and control and stuff, and one is the creation of an api
that is to be used by other parts of the kernel.

Can you split this up into 2 different commits, one for the api, and one
for the USB stuff? I think you will find that the API is going to need
a bunch of work, as it's not "normal" for what the kernel is expecting
to have.

Why a void *?

If you have the interface, you can get the usb device. Why store both?

You can't just use a boolean as a "flag" without any locking, that is
not going to work, sorry.

Why is this not protecting "started" as well as the other fields in this
structure?

What is "priv" for? Why is it unsigned long and not a real type?

Why is this a void *?

You are saving a reference to a reference counted device, yet never
grabbing the reference? That is ripe for disaster.

Where is the reference counting on this new structure that you just
created? Who controls the lifespan of it?

Why is obuf a void *? It's a real structure (or u8 stream), make it so.

Same for ibuf.

What are these magic events you are registering? What do they do and
why would anyone need them?

You have global functions here that other drivers are using, yet no
documentation about them at all for any way to review that the api
really is doing what you are wanting it to do.

So again, please split this up into at least 2 changes, and document
this new api you are creating, so that we have a chance to review it
properly. Otherwise it's almost impossible to do so.

thanks,
