I'd rather see
#if defined(CONFIG_PARPORT_PC) || defined(CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_MODULE)

Swap the "<1> " for KERN_ macros

Check pi->private != NULL - you might be out of memory

KERN_INFO on those

General comment . Its best to put [modulename]: - ie
KERN_DEBUG "backpack: verbose debug enabled.\n");

Please actually remove the macros and update the code so its clear to read

The types the kernel provide you want to use are
u8, u16, u32, u64
Don't assume long is 32bit, since your boards probably work on Alpha based
boxes, hppa64 and many other systems that all use pc like par port

names like 'wait_for_fifo' are far to generic to be globals. They will clash
with something one day. Maybe put ppc6 in front of them too ?
