A credit to intel_scu_ipc.c is probably in order here - I presume you modeled
this heavily on that driver?

Please provide a change log for the various bersions

It really helps to get code reviews if you will take the time to provide your
reviewers with the context they need review the delta from what they have
previously reviewed. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches. This is especially
critical for a 1000 line patch.

Specifically, Alan gave some broad feeback which is generally difficult to
determine if you followed.

Also, Jacob and Fei discussed the regmap interface, and that possibly that would
come later. Is this in the works for this driver?

A few minor nits below, spelling, DEVICE_ATTR_RW usage, etc.

Here and elsewhere, please use the past tense: "Failed"

Please use the DEVICE_ATTR_RW macro.

If not using module_init(), please document why you need an alternate init
priority.
