It will not. syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle_args() internally wraps
of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args(), the implementation of which can
either return -EINVAL or -ENODEV.

The only additional error path in syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle_args()
also returns -ENODEV. At worst, this will mask -ENODEV as -EINVAL.

Yes, I tried to following established convention by modeling the implementation
after other drivers that need to set syscon register bits during probe.

For instance, the dra7 pcie driver. See: dra7xx_pcie_unaligned_memaccess() or
dra7xx_pcie_configure_two_lane(). Those follow the same structure,
returning -EINVAL on lookup failure or the result from regmap_update_bits().

Where the setting is optional, a warning is issued on failure, but the probe
then simply continues.

Thanks,

David
