We have existing standard defines for most of these that should be used
instead where relevant. The code appears not use most of these defines
for generic PCI stuff anyway.

Brackets around port so that things like PORT_CTRL_ADDR(x + 1) work
as expected

This sort of stuff just obfuscates things so the defines ought to get
removed so the code is more readable to all (remember the Linux kernel
code needs to be generally readable not just readable by Micrel people)

msleep() is probably what you want for this part ? Note that you really
don't want to be spinning for milliseconds in the IRQ paths if at all
possible.

The DEBUG ioctl is a bit odd - you define it and it does nothing - just a
left over ?

Those belong in the pci device id header.


In your pci init function you do the following

> +	hw->pdev = pdev;


If you make a private copy of pdev in your struct you should refcount it
and use pci_dev_get/pci_dev_put when you take and release the reference.


The proc stuff probably belongs in sysfs nowdays
