Okay, but what is the reason for overriding MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX? Maybe a
comment explaining?

This function was just an example, the patch lacked blank lines in
general. Squashed up code is hard to read.

container_of, min, swap, etc are macros too. It is easier to read this
if they are lower case because they are typically used for initialising
variables, ie:

	int bank = dream_int_to_bank(irq);

Is easier (IMHO) to read than:
	
	int bank = DREAM_INT_TO_BANK(irq);

Looks better overall.

Indentation looks screwy here. Also, is this meant to blink the leds?
There is a 2.4 second hard delay here, which is horrible.
