My git config is fine, just cherry-picked it from a remote and forgot I
committed it from another computer with another git config ;-)
Will fix that in v5 for sure!

Ok :-)
But somehow you're right Andy, alphabetical order seems to look better
here (will do that in v5).

Should the strings be aligned, like the following?
#define DRIVER_NAME     "usb251xb"
#define DRIVER_DESC     "Microchip USB .."
#define DRIVER_VERSION	"1.0"

Which functions do you mean? I only found set_bit() and clear_bit() from
atomic_ops. But those operate on "unsigned long" variables. From the
documentation:
	Native atomic bit operations are defined to operate
	on objects aligned to the size of an "unsigned long"
	C data type, and are least of that size.

Ok, I will remove it in v5!
