While there is probably only ever a single instance of such a pcmtst device, it's still bad style to use a static variable to store per device data. Make use of platform_get_drvdata() and platform_set_drvdata() which fixes a data corruption if there should be two or more such devices (or this driver is used as a template for another driver).
