This is a serial port driver for
 Silicon Labs Si4455 Sub-GHz transciver.

The goal of this driver is to removing wires
 between central(linux) device and remote serial devices/sensors,
 but keeping the original user software.
 It represents regular serial interface for the user space.

No module name?
Sorry, I dont understand your question. Can you explain it?

No need for #ifdef for .h files.
Ok, its clear. I'll remove it from here and below.

Where are these major/minor numbers being used and where did they come
from?  Why do you need them?

Do not put #ifdefs in .c code, you never need to check for this type of
thing.

Looks like you are porting this from a _VERY_ old kernel.  That config
option went away 15+ years ago.  Are you sure this works?
Ok, I'll remove it.

Where did you get that name from?
This is my suggestion. I dont know the naming rules.

No need for these types of debugging lines, just use ftrace.

Please remove them, you have them in a few places (same for the end of
functions.)

I'll check this.

Again, no #ifdef needed.

No  need to check any debugfs return value, just use it and move on.

Same for all of these, no need to check anything.
Ok, its clear.

Wait, did you even build this code?  Does it work?  It shouldn't, these
debugfs calls have changed...

I'm stopping reviewing here.
Working test systems:

- #1 - one Si4455 connected to spi1.2:
 $ uname -r
   4.19.66-v7+

 $ ls -R /sys/kernel/debug/spi1.2/si4455
   /sys/kernel/debug/spi1.2/si4455:
   cts_error_count  partinfo  tx_error_count

   /sys/kernel/debug/spi1.2/si4455/partinfo:
   chip_rev  part  rom_id

 $ ls /dev | grep ttySI
   ttySI0

- #2 - one Si4455 connected to spi0.0 and an other to spi0.1:
 $ uname -r
   5.4.79-v7+

 $ ls -R /sys/kernel/debug/spi0.0/si4455
   /sys/kernel/debug/spi0.0/si4455:
   cts_error_count  partinfo  tx_error_count

   /sys/kernel/debug/spi0.0/si4455/partinfo:
   chip_rev  part  rom_id

 $ ls -R /sys/kernel/debug/spi0.1/si4455
   /sys/kernel/debug/spi0.1/si4455:
   cts_error_count  partinfo  tx_error_count

   /sys/kernel/debug/spi0.1/si4455/partinfo:
   chip_rev  part  rom_id

 $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/spi0.0/si4455/partinfo/chip_rev
   34 <- Its valid

 $ ls /dev | grep ttySI
   ttySI0
   ttySI1

I made a short guide to using the interfaces, generating the firmware and a simple setup.
You can see it: https://github.com/dministro/linux-serial-si4455
I always test, compile, test, compile, test, test, test, checkpatch before sending my patch.

So my answer is yes, but you are right too :)

I found the answer just now, I compiled this for kernel v4.19.66 and v5.4.79 but not for v5.10.

Sorry for this, and thank you for suggestions.
thanks,
