Is this still a valid point that we have to return zero on errors returned
from rmi_check_version() or other other function calls like rmi_features()?
arm64_init_rmi() is triggered by subsys_initcall() where the return value
needs to indicate success or failure. It's fine to return error code from
arm64_init_rmi() in the path.
