I've got no problems with that, but I'd like to know if that board can
be bought somewhere (the niasdigital.com homepage doesn't mention it)
and if and under which license the userspace part of the driver is
available. The homepage says you're in favor of the GPL, so if it can
be checked out or downloaded somewhere, please mention it, maybe in
the Kconfig help text. If the userspace part is proprietary, please
mention that, too.

There are some minor problems with your patch, see below.
Note: testing your patches with checkpatch.pl would help...

that should be signed-off-by (lower-case)

Please give a hint that a userspace part is needed, and how it can be
obtained.

You don't support shared interrupts. Is that intentional?

this needs to be "GPL v2" (lowercase 'v'), otherwise it won't build the
module (at least on 2.6.25-rc5).
