Hi,

Fixed.

I usually built the kernel with my driver included. For once I tried to build as
module first without that line added and then with. And by magic the module is
loaded right at boot time. Thank you for your help.

Once again the patch in which all your suggestions are included. Furthermore I
noticed that I had "default y" in Kconfig. Handy for me, but a tad selfish I
think and so corrected that by setting it to "n".

Here the fixed patch:
