Much better description, thanks!

Maybe you can use one of the readx_poll_timeout() functions?

Have you tested signal handling thoroughly? Most driver dropped the
_interruptible after a while. Mostly they found out that the state
machine of the interrupt handler couldn't gracefully deal with it and
nobody really needed the interruptible. Just saying.

Drop the debug messages?

I can't say much about the HW details, of course. Didn't spot anything
suspicious there.
