I suppose this really should have type size_t.  Also a better name is
"pdata_size" - we prefer to avoid this random omission of vowels from
kernel identifiers.  Just spell it out; it makes it easier to remember.

Was `y' a good choice?

These could be implemented as C funtions.  That's superior because of
the typechecking.  At present dev2ssp() will happily compile and fail
at runtime if passed anystructure which has a 'const struct device
*parent'.

Why are the __raw functions used here?

Locking?  Perhaps this function must be called under ssp->lock?  If so,
that should be documented here and it appears that not all callsites
actually do that correctly.

More rmw's which need locking.  It should be documented please.  Both
callers get it right this time.

There doesn't seem much point in writing to *output if the port_read()
timed out?

That's all fairly minor stuff.  It looks Good Enough For Linux to me.
