The driver has a bunch of checkpatch warnings, please fix them
(running checkpatch with --strict).

Please use a less generic name for the driver as well. It's called
sunxi, but applies to a single SoC (for now).

What cases do you have? You're mentionning that it might apply to more
SoCs, which ones? How is the data stored on those SoCs (and why do you
need this particular abstraction)?

Thanks!
