Looks good to me.  To comments below, but neither are enough to hold back my:

However, I have not tested this.  I'd like to hear of some larger
field testing before it is merged.

Ideally s/4/sizeof(u32)/, but not a huge deal.

Typically I prefer to see a single kzalloc in a driver which allocates
all the space needed in one go because it simplifies the error/unwind
