Hi Mathieu,

thank you for taking the time to go through my patch!

I think so, not sure why this is not in alphabetical order

not really, I think I did the same thing as in
drivers/iio/adc/meson_saradc.c where the register itself starts at the
beginning of the line and each bit(mask) starts indented
I'll change this for the next version

unfortunately not, but I'll still try to get some more information
from someone at Amlogic.
That said, this is "legacy" hardware for them so I can't make any promises.

looking at this again: the vendor driver only has a delay after
pulsing the reset line
I will double check and hopefully remove this usleep_range and only
keep the one below (after pulsing the reset line)

thanks for both of these comments, I'll address this in the next version

as far as I know only devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive (the
important bit is "optional" - I am using the "mandatory/not optional"
variant) can return NULL, all other variants return PTR_ERR or a valid
reset_control.
