All of your global symbols should have the same prefix, not a verb.  So
this should be:
	svc_channel_request_by_name(), right?

svc_channel_free()?

> +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(intel_svc_send);

Wait, why doesn't the first ones have "intel_svc" in them?

What is the difference here?

Should they all just have "intel_svc_" as the prefix?

Stick to one thing for all exported functions/variables please, it's the
only way we can attempt to keep our namespace "sane".

Also, why would a 'misc' driver be exporting things that something else
uses?  Why not just put this in the fpga directory next to the users of
this code?

thanks,
