Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] staging: pi433: add debugfs interface

Since you're going to have to redo these anyway can you make some
additional changes?

int i; unless the sizes are really going to exceed 2 billion.

This comment does not add any information.  Delete it.

This condition is unnecessary, it's already checked in wait_event_interruptible().

It makes me nervous that you're not checking the returns from these...

These comments duplicate the comments a few lines earlier so they don't
add anything new.

Delete.

Delete this comment

Could you flip these locks around so they mirror the start of the
function?  It doesn't affect runtime, but really it's nicer if the
ordering are always consistent.  ABBA.

Delete the comment.  The variable name is not good.  "dir" would be
better.
