Hi Frank,

I am not super familiar with USB drivers, so mostly some high level
review questions first:

Hmm, it selects a symbol which depends on USB. Not good AFAIK. I think
this driver should depend on MFD_CH341.

Please sort the includes. No need for emtpy lines.

You mean between every 32 bytes, there is a START and STOP condition on
the bus? Then, the maximum message size is 32 byte only, sadly. Or did I
misunderstand?

Can the driver send an arbitrary number of messages within one transfer?
E.g. write, read, read, write, read? All connected with a REPEATED START
and not with STOP and START?

Have you also tested zero length messages AKA SMBus Quick commands?

Please name the relevant authors. Only the ones which directly worked
on this driver.

SPDX header says "GPL v2".

So much for now, thanks for your submission!
