Why do you need a list as you already have a list of them all in the
class structure?

> +static DEFINE_MUTEX(wwan_global_lock);

What is this lock for?  I don't think you need a lock for a ida/idr
structure if you use it in the "simple" mode, right?

Why is this a global structure?

Nice, no locking!

:(

Again, why not use the driver core bits for this?

Also, no reference counting is used here, sure way to cause problems :(

Ah, you lock outside of the function, and increment the reference count,
that's a sure way to cause auditing problems over time.  Don't do that,
you know better.

Hah, why?  You now have 2 reference counts for the same structure?

Again, I do not think you need a lock if you use this structure in a
safe way.

No, you don't need this.

Again, I do not think you need a lock.  I could be wrong though, you
might want to look into it...

WARN_ON is a huge crutch, never use it in new code.

I'm confused, you have 1 class, but 2 different major numbers for this
class?  You have a device and ports with different numbers, how are they
all tied together?

So a port is not a device?  Why not?


For such a tiny amount of code, I had a lot of questions :(
