Why have the gpio and mux core in the same patch?

When your module is unloaded, you forgot to clean this structure up with
what was done with it.

You don't return PTR_ERR(-ENOMEM)? Ok, why not? (I'm not arguing for

Why are you not registering the device here as well? Why have this be a

Having devm functions that create/destroy other struct devices worries
me, do we have other examples of this happening today? Are you sure you
got the reference counting all correct?

What can someone do with these WARN_ON() splats in the kernel log?

Why use a read/write lock at all? Have you tested this to verify it
really is faster and needed?

Oh that always scares me... Are you _sure_ this is correct? And

You require a lock to be held for a "global" function? Without
documentation? Or even a sparse marking? That's asking for trouble...

Even with subsys_initcall you are relying on link order, you do realize
that? What about other subsystems that rely on this? :)

Don't put kernel doc comments in a .h file, they normally go into the .c
file, next to the code itself. That makes it easier to fix up and
realise when they need to be changed when the code changes. The .h file
rarely changes.

I don't understand this note, what is a user of this api supposed to do
differently between 1 and 0? Why make the difference at all?
And I agree with the comment to split this up into 2 different .h files,
if possible.
thanks,
