Why does this file have to be in include/linux? I don't think this exports any structures to userspace, and no other code calls this driver, so it should all fit into the .c file just fine.
Also, please create the needed Documentation/ABI/ files for these new sysfs entries, describing how they are used, and what the format of them are.
Is there any way to detect automatically if this hardware is present in the system or not?
Otherwise, how will it be loaded by a distro automatically?
thanks,
