Hello Oleksandr-

I have a few comments below.

Are all ops optional?  That seems bizarre.  I would have expected at
least one callback to be required.

These two can be moved out of the lock.

Did you mean to allocate: sizeof(*jtag) + priv_size?

Well, this code flow is just confusing.

I suggest a redo with:

	err = misc_register(&jtag->miscdev);
	if (err) {
		dev_err(jtag->dev, "Unable to register device\n");
		goto err_jtag_name;
	}

If you need to initialize 'opened', do it prior to misc_register.

Thanks,
