Hello József,

Thank you for taking care of support of Silabs products :)

I think you have to use your personal address to sign-off.

Since you add a new directory, you should also update MAINTAINERS file
(checkpatch didn't warn you about that?).

AFAIK, Si4455 is a programmable product. So I think that this driver only
work if the Si4455 use a specific firmware, isn't? In this case, you
should mention it in the documentation.

It seems that the driver does not use this clock. So, is the clock
attribute mandatory? What is the purpose of declaring a fixed-clock
for this device?

So, in fact, Si4455 is not a UART. I don't know how this kind of device
should be presented to the userspace. Have you check if similar devices
already exists in the kernel?

I suggest to add linux-wpan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to the recipients of your
patch.

Why not:

       ret = si4455_send_command_get_response(port,
                                              sizeof(*result), result,
                                              sizeof(dataIn), dataIn);

... it would avoid all these lines.
