Hi Rahul,
thanks for the feedback, I will add it to the driver.

I added an 16-byte Array hid_report to the mcp2000 struct. When I need the report, I do the following:
struct mcp_set_clear_outputs *cmd;
mutex_lock(&mcp->lock); cmd = (struct mcp_set_clear_outputs *) mcp->hid_report
Do you think this is a valid implementation or do I really have to add a pointer to the mcp2200 struct instead of the 16 byte array and allocate another 16 byte for it in the probe function?

I am not sure, if I have understand this correctly, but basically I already have a stub remove function (which is empty). First the remove function gets called, then the unregister function and everything is cleaned up correctly. Did I get this right or do you have any other recommendation for me?
So, do I need any adaptions, or can we go with the empty remove function?
Best regards, Johannes
