Thank you for the nicely written driver!
However, I have one big issue with it (see below).

These will be _rv variants anyway as there is no chance this series goes before that.

All the rest is fine to me and looks good, but above is a principal impediment
to give you my tag. In case you update the type to __le16, feel free to add
my Reviewed-by tag.
