Yup, I forgot these. Thanks.
Status update: I incorporated your comments and Lars-Peter Clausen's comments and
created V4. The changes since V3 are:
* removed overdocumentation
* removed MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE and +MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV
* removed return -ENOTTY after switch (cmd) because we have the default allready
* s/sent/send/
* I'd suggest to swap the logic here (branch taken on error)
* no_llseek removal squashed into patch 1
* provide getter/setter methods for driver specific data so that we can easily do the conversion towards the device driver model
* removed parent because this would change when we will start using the device driver model

And for your assistance and the feedback from others also.
Kind regards,
Wim.
