Hi Yong,

I've submitted a (slightly) better patch earlier today. (although this was 
generated via format-patch, I forgot the sob.). 

My main hope was to get some indication that I was progressing along the right 
path.

Thanks, replies also in-line.

I wasn't immediately sure of what the equivalent way to do this via the i2c 
subsystem is. I'm not sure how useful it would be anyway, so I'll leave it out 
in future.

Copied from existing code.

The lock is released in mc13xxx_common_probe. 
Yes, it would be better in this function, before common_probe is called.

Again, mimicking the existing spi device table.

For the record, I missed this, its fixed in my later patch. Return should be 0 
if both are successful.

Cheers,
