Will fix that.

That's true, I'll remove readl.

Well, we don't gain much in this case, but I usually prefer using the
wrappers to read/write to from/to registers and avoid having to write
'base + reg' every time.

Yes, it's long. I'll sleep instead.

I based this part of the code on:
	drivers/base/regmap/regmap-mmio.c:regmap_mmio_write()
where there's a BUG_ON().
Anyway, I think you're right, so I'll return some error instead.
