Please sort them in alphabetical order, some of them seems not needed also (like spinlock.h)

Why to use 3 space after some define ?

Put this define with others

u32 is prefered other uint32_t, do you have run checkpatch --strict ?

This comment doesnt have the style recommended for new driver.

Be more precise by saying misc device

Why do you use devm_iounmap/devm_kfree since the interest with devm_ functions is that all cleanup is done when driver is removed.

I think you should remove the space after this return
