grumble.  These just make the code harder to follow.  it'd be better to
open-code readl() and writel() at the callsites.

lib/hexdump.c?

afacit this didn't need to be a kernel-wide symbol?

Please review the patchset for any unnecessarily-global symbols.

This code seems to do rather a lot of printks for production code?

The backslashes here are unneeded and unconventional.

Can `drv' really be NULL here?

This code could do with a few comments.

See, this reader of your code doesn't know what vlynq_linked() does, so
I don't have a hope of working out whey this function returns -ENODEV
if it couldn't find any "linked" devices.  What does this _mean_ in
terms of the underlying hardware and its configuration?

Dunno.  But it would be nice to be able to work that out from reading
the code, no?

"remote", "local", "external".  What do these terms mean?  Perhaps
there's a TI datasheet somewhere?

Preferred comment layout format is

One `case' per line, please.

It's strange that this function directly calls __vlynq_enable_device(),
and undoes that via ops->off() if vlynq_setup_irq() failed.

I'd have expected to see a call to ops->off() used as a cancallation
for ops->on()?

This doesn't look 64-bit-bus friendly.
