I like the general architecture of this driver.

It's not clear to me whether you have utilised some information about these
devices from FFADO or have duplicated the protocol reverse engineering
process yourself.  If the former it would be nice to include a brief
acknowlegement since the FFADO MOTU protocol documents and code represents a
large body of work by several people which brought an otherwise undocumented
protocol into the open.  If the latter then clearly it's a moot point.
