Mauro,

This series has not received any comments and the original author
seems to have abandoned this driver. Please review these patches for
approval. All changes are relatively straight forward. The second
patch in this series is a bug fix for the normal case where the device
is unplugged while closed. The current implementation will cause a
NULL pointer dereference. The fact that no one has reported this bug
is probably due to the lack of people using this driver. The rest of
the changes mainly provide general cleanups and reduced overhead.

Regards,

David Ellingsworth
