Hello,

I'm in a code review mood, and you're the lucky person.

I think it would clear up the code a lot if you introduced a xmit_bytes()
function which does the above for variable lengths, as well as the ASIO_NCS
fiddling. Also pass in drvdata and get the gpios from there in this function,
you never have the one without the other.

Only thing preventing this is the lsb_first thing. That is only needed for
the page data itself, so I'd get rid of that option (always 0) and instead
introduce a function swap_page_byte_bits() or something and call that for
the page data before sending it all sequentially in one go. It can use
bitrev8() from bitrev.h for the actual bits swapping.

This delay looks redundant.

Can't you get the same info from somewhere in /sys, or from the gpio
debug prints? If so, consider leaving this away.

You don't unlock open_lock, so this supports only one user at the time?

Is 5s always enough? Is there some way to check if it's really done?

Maybe check the whole range before sending any data?

This delay looks redundant, sure it's needed when you're not fiddling
with ASIO_NCS?

Everywhere else the delay is after setting the NCS. Just weird
protocol or a mistake?

Isn't that already set by cdev_init? Hmm, apparently not, perhaps it should?

Shouldn't you do this at the very end?

I know other drivers put their header files in include/linux/ too,
but is there any reason to? This seems all internal to cyclone_as.c,
why not have no header file?

Probably not high on your list, but what about suspend support?
Preventing suspend from succeeding seems like a good idea when
stuff is going on.

Greetings,

Indan
