Glad to hear that all compiled ok. As for the debug option not 
working, were you looking for the output on COM1, or whatever you 
have the 'console' set to on the kernel command line? The debug 
output won't appear on a SSH/telnet session.

I can't think of anything in particular that you may have done or 
not done. It should be as simple as what you have detailed here. I 
guess then that I have two questions: 

1. What kernel version have you compiled this against? (It's a while 
since I have used this much myself, but I believe I have compiled it 
against -ts9 and -ts10 without problems). I see no reason why 
everything would compile but not work functionally on other kernel 
versions but it may help to check. Also, other users may be able to 
confirm if the driver works against other kernel versions?

2. Are you able to vary the voltages on the pins as you are 'cat'ing 
the /dev/adc* devices? Even if you can do something as simple as 
connecting and disconnecting the voltage. What I am thinking is, 
disregarding for the moment that the actual numbers may be wrong, 
just confirm that if you are changing the voltage on the first 
channel, that the numbers are changing when you 'cat' the first 
device, etc. Also, that the numbers from the other channel devices 
_DON'T_ change when you change the voltage on an unrelated channel.

Other than that, it seems a little strange, but hopefully we can 
sort it all out for you.

No problem! :)
