An error message is needed here.

	if (!config) {
		pr_err("Unable to alloc RMM config memory\n");
		return -ENOMEM;
	}

The error code from rmi_rmm_config_set() is indicative sometimes. Also, -ENXIO
would be more appropriate than -EINVAL?

	if (ret) {
		pr_err("RMM config set failed (%d)\n", ret);
		ret = -ENXIO;
	}

rmi_rmm_config_set() is used for once by rmi.c::rmi_configure(), I would not expose
rmi_rmm_config_set() by combining the logic to rmi.c::rmi_configure().
