I commented on your second patch, but everything is applicable here as
well. You have many useless debug messages. Many incorrect or useless
"if() return" which point to broken driver design (e.g. concurrent
access to half initialized structures where you substitute lack of
synchronization with incorrect "if() return"). Undocumented user
interface is one more big trouble.

I doubt you run checkpatch on this (be sure to run it with --strict and
fix almost everything).
