Not yet.

Several iterations were posted and reviewed on the linux-usb mailing list.

I've been fixing these up when I've been updating the documentation.

Ok.

In that function *be is of type struct uwb_rc_evt_beacon which is 48
octets long. struct uwb_beacon_frame only contains u8's so there are no
alignment issues.

Ok.

I agree here. I've been fixing these up when had to make other changes
to the affected functions.

Not sure you mean here?

If rsv->state == UWB_RSV_STATE_NONE the function returns in the switch
before the call to uwb_drp_ie_alloc().

Ok.

I can fix up some of the issues in the next couple of days (use
time_after() and kcalloc()).  Could these subsystems then be merged?

The printk_ratelimit() will take a bit longer.
