I just noticed this patch was applied to mainline anyway.  Regardless, I
will (try to) address these issues you raised.

Right now however, I am prioritising personal stuff above this
driver---bachelor's thesis and graduation presentation.  When finished
with that (september) I'll allocate time to these issues again.

PS Those datasheets are written very poorly, although I have seen worse.
   And as a reader I tend to become more "lazy" when I discover the
   writer was "lazy" (not exactly by choice, more out of habit).
   Unfortunately that doesn't work very well as reading style with
   technical documentation, so this probably explains some of the errors
   in this current patch.

PPS I do have a patch ready that addresses some of the issues you
    raised.  Those are only the cosmetic changes though (e.g. change
    naming of chip, comment updates, etc.).  Would you suggest me to
    send it right now already or wait until I have time to address the
    other issues as well?
