Nit, dev_dbg() already contains __func__ by default, so no need for that
at all.  And please use dev_dbg(), why are you using dev_vdbg()?

Same as above.  And for all other instances you added.

Please use the builtin function for determining if a boolean has been
written through sysfs, don't roll your own.

Note, these are just cosmetic things, I'm not taking the time yet to
comment on the contents here, I'll let others do that first :)
