This one looks much better, I still have some comments though:

I dont really like that, but if you insist on having a unique ab3100 instance
for your driver (instead of allocating one with every probe call and passing
it as an i2c client data pointer), I could still ACK it. However:

...that I wouldnt accept.
ab3100_set_test_register should be generic enough and have an ab3100 pointer
as its first parameter. It's called from ab3100_setup(), to which you can
passe the newly allocated ab3100.
There are several routines in your driver that rely on the existence of your
ab3100_local pointer. Let's go through them:

struct ab3100 *ab3100 = container_of(work, struct ab3100, work);

and you dont have to reference your ab3100_local pointer anymore.

struct ab3100 *ab3100 = (struct ab3100 *)data;

you're even passing the ab3100 pointer to request_irq, so it's all set
already.

You could pass the probe() time allocated pointer to your debugfs_create_*()
calls, and then fetch it back here.
Same applies to all your debugfs code below.

This one needs to take a struct ab3100 * as an input.

Ditto.

i2c_set_clientdata(client, ab3100); and you can get rid of your static
ab3100_local declaration.
