Just trivia...

names for struct types ending in _ are pretty unusual.

It seems all of the dev_<level> logging messages include __func__.
I think these __func__ uses are not particularly valuable and could
be removed.

Please don't split format strings.

		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "could not allocate register memory space\n");
or if you must
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "%s: could not allocate register memory space\n",
			__func__);
