Ok, nice work, but that has nothing to do with how you submit a patch to
us for review.
> We expect one more big patch, which cannot be split in my opinion.
I disagree with that opinion, and so do thousands of other Linux kernel
developers who have done this successfully in the past :)
Remember, it is your job to make this as simple and as easy as possible
for me to review your code, such that it is trivial for me to understand
and accept it. That takes more work on your side to do this, as we have
thousands of developers, but very few reviewers. We know we waste
engineering time on this type of thing, but the end result makes for
better reviews and consequentially, better reviews.
So don't ignore this advice, remember, you are wanting me to do
something for you, for free. Make it easy for me to do so.

It doesn't have to "work" fully, see many many examples of how to do
this every week submitted to us. It's not an impossible task at all.

What proposed description?

That's better, but really, when a tiny serial port driver has more text
than this huge thing, you might want to consider expanding on exactly
what you want people to understand...

Don't write code because "it might change in the future". Write code
for what you have today. If it does change in the future, wonderful, go
and change the code. You have the full ability to do so then, no need
to hurt all of us today for that potential.
As for "matching names", why does that matter? Who sees both names at
the same time?

But Linux works on both, so you need to properly document/handle this somehow.

Who is confused here? We accept naming conventions that do not match
the normal Linux style when they are referring to external sources of
the data. Examples of this are USB device field names, and other
hardware specifications that are public. You aren't sharing code with a
Windows system, so please follow the Linux coding style rules, as you
want Linux developers to be helping you maintain this code, not
developers who have ever read code from other operating systems.
So please follow the rule of, "unless these fields and structures are
publically defined somewhere, use Linux naming rules", like all of the
rest of us do.

It is generally a good idea for a function to clean up after itself if
things go wrong as it is almost impossible for a reader of the code, or
automated tools, to determine that these resources are freed up by an
external call later on in the code path.
So yes, please fix this up.

Please pick now, no need to wait :)
