So I think you really want Greg KH to look at this bus implementation
now. Please include Greg on future mailings...
It looks much improved from previous versions, and sorry if I am now
adding even more comments, but it's because you cleared out some
noise that was disturbing my perception so I can cleanly review
the architecture of this thing now. (I'm impressed by your work and
new high-speed turnaround time!)

I'd use #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and try to
move this declaration closer to the actual debugfs
code block.
Apart from this the core bus looks good to me, but it's not my
area of expertise...

This is only used in one place, why not just use the string
"delay" there?

i.e. there.

Instead of:
if (u8_is_any_set(foo, 128) {}
Why can't you use:
if (!bitmap_empty(foo, 128*8) {}
?
If you look at the implementation in the <linux/bitmap.h> header
and __bitmap_empty() in lib/bitmap.c you will realize that this
function is already optimized like this (and I actually don't think
the RMI4 code is performance-critical for these functions anyway,
but prove me wrong!)

Hm, getting rid of unreadable casts is a valid case.
I'll be OK with this but maybe the real solution is to introduce such
helpers into <linux/bitmap.h>?

Looking at this...
What does the data->num_of_irq_regs actually contain?
I just fear that it is something constant like always 2 or always 4,
so there is actually, in reality, a 16 or 32 bit register hiding in there.
In that case what you should do is to represent it as a u16 or u32 here,
just or the bits into a status word, and then walk over that status
word with something like ffs(bitword); ...

Standard eh? :-)
Atleast prefix with rmi4_*...

If all these two are doing are to call another function with almost
the same name, what is the point? Just sink the code from
"standard_suspend()" and "standard_resume()" into these
functions and remove a pointless layer of abstraction.
Apart from this the core driver looks good to me.

OK I see the point, but is there really no other way to do this than
to #define huge static inlines like these? Is it really not possible to
create just generic functions instead of going this far?

I don't understand what this union is trying to achieve.
regs[1] does not look right considering what you're trying to
achieve. Since the above fields require a regs[2] (9 bits!)
to be stored. Maybe write out what you're trying to do here
so I can understand it? (If everyone else in the world gets
it immediately, it's maybe me that need fixing instead...)
Apart from these remarks it's looking real nice now!
