For now, the driver only supports one instance.
I will find a way to handle this when the driver supports more instances.
Is this suggestion OK for you?

OK,
I will replace all "dev_dbg" with "dev_err" in this function.

add const here as you suggested
and in other function parameters every time we use this variable.
