This is the only function that is still in camel case; it should
probably be changed also... In fact, this functions doesn't seem to be
used at all.  Can it just be removed?  Are there any other unused
functions in this driver?

This looks like it should be 'char __user *buf' instead of '__user char *buf'.

Ditto on placement of __user

Why not mutex_lock_interruptible()? (goes for all cases of mutex_lock())
