That is great, but please read the development process documentation on
how best to submit something like this. We would much rather see a patch
(inline, not as an attachment) to facilitate the review.

I'm going to take a quick look, but this is *not* a thorough review.

The 80-column limit isn't as set in stone as it once was, but this still
pushes the limits rather farther than needed. In general, though,
changelog information belongs in the VCS, not in the header comments.

This seems like a bit of a strange locking scheme. Are the accesses to
this register pair so slow that you can't just protect the set with a
spinlock and be done with it?

typedef is strongly discouraged in kernel code; just use "struct
board_info" in your code. Though a more descriptive name wouldn't hurt.

This structure will have a lot of holes; maybe that's not a problem.

Why not just define this function here and avoid the forward declaration?

We have nice dynamic debugging facilities that make this kind of stuff
unnecessary. See https://lwn.net/Articles/434833/

So the locking you were talking about is clearly happening at a higher
level than here. It would be good to note what locking is expected by
these functions.

It might be nice to move these function pointers into their own structure.
You could then declare them static and const and just assign the structure
pointer here.

Coding style: HZ*2. Running checkpatch would be a good idea.

So I'm still really confused by this locking. What is ->addr_lock
protecting?

Why mdelay() here? You used msleep() above.

This kind of stuff should come out - either you need it or you don't.

Likewise. Plus the coding syle is wrong :)

I think this wants to be release_mem_region()

So this looks like it wants the lock held?

...and now we have 40ms of hard delay with the lock held and interrupts
disabled? Ouch.

Repeating myself, but I still don't get this; why not just protect all
accesses to the register pair and avoid this kind of error-prone stuff?

So we can have that 40ms with interrupts off whenever a timeout occurs.

So this time you don't save the address. I'm glad somebody knows when that
needs to happen.

Who has set io_addr here? Are you counting on that ior() call to do it?

Did you ever check to see that the interrupt was actually from your device?
