No driver should ever have anything that is static to the driver like this, it should always be per-device. Please use the correct device model here, which does not include a global pointer, but rather unique ones that are given to you by the driver core. That way you are never tied to only "one device per system" as that is a constraint that you will have to fix eventually, might as well do it all correctly the first time as it is not any extra effort to do so. thanks, greg k-h
