This comment doesn't make sense anymore :)

Please directly use the actual type here.

This prototype is superflous.

Why do you use __const_udelay instead of udelay?

Do you really need that compat code? I don't think it makes much sense to
keep 2.0 code around in 2.5.

This is broken - the upper layer does this for you swhen you set the owner fild
of struct file_operations.

Dito.

See, you already set it..

Remove this line.

Using gotos for error handling here might make the code quite a bit more
readable :)
