Allocating a new major is a Big Deal.  It involves getting the major
registered by contacting device@...ana.org.

It's better to dynamically allocate it - let udev handle it.

Gad. Are all those includes needed?

`struct max3100_port' is sufficient, and would be more typical.

These two bits will share a word and hence locking is needed to prevent
modifications to one from trashing modifications to the other on SMP.

That's OK, but it would be best to document that locking right here, and
to check that it is adhered to.

Lots of dittoes.

These bitfields perhaps could be reordered to save a bit of space, but
that depends on the implicit locking rules for them.

hrmpf.  Don't we have a library function for that?

Perhaps you could use hweight8(c)&1.

Most people put spaces around <<, but checkpatch pets this through.

This is a strange place to run PREPARE_WORK().  Normally it would be
done during driver/device initialsiation, and I think that can be done
here.

could do

	struct spi_transfer tran = {
		.tx_buf = &etx,
		.rx_buf = &erx
		.len = 2,
	};

and the compiler will zero out the rest.  Minor point.

hm.  This will go nasty if s->minor > 9.  I'd suggest that b[] be made
larger.

Shouldn't we tear down that workqueue before returning?
