Why do you need a .h file for a single driver?  Please just put it all
into one file.

But there is a bigger problem here:

+	xrusb_tty_driver = alloc_tty_driver(XRUSB_TTY_MINORS);
+	if (!xrusb_tty_driver)
+		return -ENOMEM;

Why are you not using the usb serial core here?  You need to do that,
not try to provide your own custom tty driver.  That way userspace
programs will "just work" with your new device, no changes needed as
your major/minor number and device name would be custom only for your
device, which is not acceptable.

By doing that, your code will also be much smaller, always a good
benefit as well.

thanks,
