I've never seen a Version tag before. Did you manually add this?

Nitpick: Can it just be tx_remaining? And why u32? Why not unsigned int?

Another nitpick: Please put braces around multi-line if branches for
greater code clarity.

Does this happen? Is the console being used as a tty at the same time?

Nitpick: status is a poor variable name to test here. I don't understand
what this line is doing. Maybe it would help to have another local
variable like 'needs_attention'?

How can 'avail' be less than 0? It's size_t which is unsigned? If
underflow is happening from that subtraction or overflow from the
multiply that could be bad but I hope that is impossible.

Nitpick: If we made 'avail' unsigned int would we be able to drop the
casts on this min3() call? This line is quite hard to read.

Nitpick: I guess this driver isn't using u32 for registers already.
Would be nice to mop this up in another patch.
