Re: [PATCH] riport LADAR driver

since this is for a tutorial... double nitpick mode ;-)
(since examples should be squeeky clean or people will turn the right
thing into the not quite right thing later in their own code)

this is still there while it really shouldn't be; either use pr_debug()
or dev_printk().

if this is for a tutorial.. might as well sort these fields in order of
decreasing size so that you get minimal alignment packing by the
compiler

might as well make another goto target and have that do the
release_region...

this "usage count" thing is probably buggy and racy; what is it for?
