When I see something like "global device pointer", that is a HUGE red
flag.

No driver should ever have anything that is static to the driver like
this, it should always be per-device.  Please use the correct device
model here, which does not include a global pointer, but rather unique
ones that are given to you by the driver core.  That way you are never
tied to only "one device per system" as that is a constraint that you
will have to fix eventually, might as well do it all correctly the first
time as it is not any extra effort to do so.

thanks,
