Looking briefly at findings it seems this was not really tested by
automation and you expect reviewers to find issues which are pointed out
by tools. That's not nice approach. Reviewer's time is limited, while
tools do it for free. And the tools are free - you can use them without
any effort.

It does not look like you tested the DTS against bindings. Please run
`make dtbs_check W=1` (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst or
https://www.linaro.org/blog/tips-and-tricks-for-validating-devicetree-sources-with-the-devicetree-schema/
for instructions).

Please run standard kernel tools for static analysis, like coccinelle,
smatch and sparse, and fix reported warnings. Also please check for
warnings when building with W=1. Most of these commands (checks or W=1
build) can build specific targets, like some directory, to narrow the
scope to only your code. The code here looks like it needs a fix. Feel
free to get in touch if the warning is not clear.

Please run scripts/checkpatch.pl and fix reported warnings. Then please
run `scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict` and (probably) fix more warnings.
Some warnings can be ignored, especially from --strict run, but the code
here looks like it needs a fix. Feel free to get in touch if the warning
is not clear.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
