Yes, that matters very much.  The point is that we should keep the
same coding style.  It's not for saving spaces but improves
readability and makes easier (not only for you but for other
reviewers) to find bugs.

Forgotten static here?

Ditto.

Isn't it 4?

Maybe better to use NULL as the terminal pointer for varargs instead
of passing the number of arguments?

mdelay(1) would be scheduler-friendly (if the longer delay doesn't
matter).

I'd use schedule_timeout(1) here.

Missing static.

In the current code, you call this directly from module init entry,
thus it's actually __init.  But, if you rewrite the code for the newer
style using struct device (perhaps better with platform_device or so),
__devinit is the right attribute.
