thank you very much for your review! I agree with nearly all of your points and will
send an update today. The only thing I have doubts about is removing those lines:

I looked around in the kernel sources and found that they are often present in
generic modules, even if they can't be used without a wrapper (examples are all
files in drivers/i2c/algos or drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-core.c). As I'm
also a bit anxious to fiddle with other people's authorship, I'd prefer to keep
them.

Finally, I'll also try to test suspend/resume, but I have to find out if it is
supported on that board in general.

Regards,

   Wolfram
