This looks like you've got most of a driver here, probably the easiest
thing to do is submit it using the process outlined in
SubmittingPatches. The code looks mostly fine so this shouldn't be too
much of an issue.

Use a route, that's the more modern way.

I'm not sure I understand the question here.

You can see the card initialization in the code. There's no defined
ordering for the device model probing, even if things are currently
redicatable on your system you shouldn't rely on anything.

Fill it in or omit it.

You need a binding document for this.
