Thanks for the feedback. I'm heavily inspired by the wl12xx code so I guess
the style suites you :)

Here are my comments:

* use ALIGN() and IS_ALIGNED() macros instead of doing it manually

Will fix.

* checkpatch complains about DOS line endings (but that might be due to
   mail server, not sure)

No DOS line endings here. Probably chewed somewhere along the way.

* git-am complained about whitespace damage

Will fix.

* defines inside structures is not common, kernel style is to have the
   defines on top of the structure definition


Hmmm. That's legacy from the FreeBSD driver. All those structs are
copy-pasted from here:

http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_uathreg.h

I would prefer to keep as close as possible to that file but if it's
an issue I can certainly change that.

I'll respin the patches asap.

Cheers,

Pontus
