Instead of the comment, I suppose you want to use __le16 and __le32
types and let sparse check that you got it right.

All members are naturally aligned, so better drop the __packed
annotation get better code, unless the structure itself is
at an unaligned offset in memory.

Same here.

What is this __raw accessor for? This generally results in non-portable
code that should be replaced with writel() or something specific to
the bus on the architecture you deal with.

No need for 'irqsave' locks when you know that interrupts are enabled.

More __raw accessors to replace.

This looks like a very verbose way to check 'cmd' against a known
constant. Why not use 'switch (cmd)' like all other drivers?
