What locking prevents the races which could occur here?

Whatever it is, it would be good to document that here in a code
comment.

Can this use the facilities in include/linux/bitrev.h?

geeze, what does that do?

Code needs comments..

unneeded cast.

Neither of the comparisons in this expression can ever be true.

uneeded casts.

Something has gone wrong with the types here.  Where does the fault lie
- this driver, or input core?

various dittoes.

It would be useful to add a comment telling the reader that this is a
timer-handler function.

hm.  I don't see what the race is, nor how the comparison fixes it.  If
I _did_ understand this, perhaps I could suggest alternative fixes. 
But I don't so I can't.  Oh well.

Can/should this use generic___set_le_bit() or similar, rather than
open-coding it?
