Please add
#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt
before any #include

and remove the "panel: " prefixes from output messages.

OOM messages are duplicative and unnecessary.
alloc failures get a dump_stack.

Please coalesce formats and use "%s: ...", __func__ when there
is an embedded function name.  It'd also be nice to use argument
alignment to open parenthesis.

                pr_err("%s: port->number=%d parport=%d, already registered\n",
                       port->number, parport);


etc...

cheers, Joe
