What is the "command"?  What is being parsed?  This needs to be
documented a lot more here, this is very vague and not obvious at all.

Are these read-only?  Write only?  read/write?

This command is a string command issued by the user. After the command 
is configured, the acc driver parses the command.

I am sorry, but I do not understand what you mean here.  What exactly is
a "command"?  What format is it in?  What are valid commands?  What are
invalid commands?  Are these commands different for different devices?
What do the commands do?  What are the return values for the commands?
And so on.

You are creating a new user/kernel API here and so you must define it
very specifically.  You have not speficied anything for us to know how
this works at all and so we can not accept this for that reason alone
(nor should you want us to.)

thanks,
