Thanks, fixed.

Thanks, fls() fit greatly, rewritten the function with compatibility testing.

Dropped this procedure because it is not used.
Thanks.

Thanks, renamed to "retries".

Thanks, reworked.

Thanks, fixed.

Indeed. For some mysterious reason, vim + syntastic insists on this way. Fixed.

Not quite. This debug printout works with variables which are declared
in another "#ifdef DEBUG" clause. And it turns out that dev_dbg is
compiled not only if DEBUG is declared, so when I remove this ifdef, I
get "undefined variable" errors. It seems it is compiled if this
condition is met:

#if (defined DEBUG) || (defined CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)

so I can wrap my stats variables into this statement instead. But such
change is not equivalent - I guess CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is common to
be enabled, so debug stats will be always calculated, even when module
is not under debug. Except if I use DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA etc.
in my code. Please let me know if this can be sorted out in cleaner
way.

Thank you for commenting.
I have previously asked my employer to review copyright statment, and
he told this is fine.
