Please properly wrap your changelog text at 72 columns

That is not permanent, please provide the details here.

And ignored everything else I asked about?  That's not nice to reviewers
at all.  Please at least comment on things that have been asked about,
otherwise why would anyone want to review this?

Also, is this "v2"?  You didn't say so in your subject line.

Please fix this all up and submit a v3, after at least commenting on the
things asked previously.

Also, you still have this line which prevents me from being able to
accept this patch, as I talked about previously:

> +	{PCI_DEVICE(VENDOR_ID1, PCI_ANY_ID)},

Do NOT just bind to all PCI devices from a vendor, that will break other
drivers in the system.

Also, do not use a random MAJOR number that you just picked out of no
where, that too will break working systems and needs to be fixed.  Use
the dynamic allocation method, or better yet, just use a misc device.

thanks,
