The driver looks saneish to me, but...

- The attachment uses \r\n line termination and caused me quite a bit
  of trouble before I worked out what was going on.

- The changelog is missing your Signed-off-by:.  Please read up on
  this in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

- The driver needs lots and lots of trivial coding-style fixes. 
  Please take a look at some similar drivers and also use the
  scripts/checkpatch.pl tool.

  checkpatch says:

	total: 153 errors, 110 warnings, 874 lines checked

  which must be some sort of record ;)

  Also, some C functions have needless `\' line continuations in them.


All pretty simple stuff.  Please take a look at all that and then resend?

Thanks.
