That's why question mark. If author thinks it's good idea (our case,

Yep, tab vs. space indentation.

__set_bit(), __clear_bit() -- non-atomic variants, but you are right,
that (unsigned long) exactly the point I didn't propose them.

I would do like

/*
 * The multi-line
 * comment.
 */

Capital letter, period at the end, first empty line (unlike in net
subsystem).

__maybe_unused for function, device_property_*() instead of
of_property_*() calls.

Something like that. But if you are insisting this is *only* OF
available hardware or we don't care, I'll not object.
