Missing () around `filt'.

There's no reason why these "functions" needed to be implemented as
macros?  They'd be better as nice lowercase-named, commented, typesafe
C functions.

the cast wasn't needed.

Why does it use schedule_work() instead of synchronously calling
adp8870_write()?

(And if I didn't know, other readers won't know either.  It needs a
comment explaining this).

kcalloc() is neater.

I think you intended |= here.

But OR-ing errnos together is a bit grubby - if two calls return
different errnos, we get garbage.

Much grubbiness.

adp8870_write() can take a long time, I think.  What's the worst-case
value of adapter->timeout?  If the interface is timing out, this code
will call the timing-out function ten or twenty times.  How long can
all this take?  How many messages will it spew on the console?

Is the sysfs API documented anywhere?
