The patch looks ok. It does not cleanup the cmt-speech driver for
mainline usage, but it should work. Before adding this driver to the
mainline kernel there should be open source userspace support anyway.

but wouldn't it make sense to export a V4L2 device instead of the
custom /dev/cmt_speech ABI?
