So..  how many people use this, and how do we know when it's been tested
enough?

tsk.


Hey, you have volatiles and checkpatch.pl didn't complain.  Andy, a
reference to Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt would suit.

(That's

one could use the [1] = PAR_SPEC, thingy here, but the above seems clear

This is too large to inline (I suspect) and it has many callsites, and some
of those callsites are inlined too.

You'll probably get some nice savings by nuking the lot.

That RECOVERY_DELAY thing has to go!

Make this static?

This `irq' thing looks a bit hacky.

two callsites, should be uninlined.

How come this read_zsreg() needs the lock

and these apparently don't?

<double checks>

Actually the callers _do_ seem kinda OK, but please chech that carefully.

Some of the callers are using spin_lock(zlock) and some others are using
spin_lock_irq().  Could be deadlocky - please review all of that.

Too much inlining here too.

FRM_ERR and PAR_ERR are mutually exclusive, and cannot be set if either

The ->irq_guard handling looks a little racy?

Perhaps higher-level locks prevent this.  If so, a comment explaining this

afacit clk_mode = 16 is the only value possible in this driver.

You might want to set CON_BOOT here.  See the recently-merged
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.21-rc7/2.6.21-rc7-mm2/broken-out/fixes-and-cleanups-for-earlyprintk-aka-boot-console.patch

I think there was some great controversy recently concerning the naming of
the device which the z8530 driver drives.  Perhaps you're not affected
here.  It was dwmw2 vs Stephen Rothwell ;)
