Alex Elder pointed out that some of my comments might not be precise or
not helping enough. Let me clarify then:

Please run all standard, open-source tools when submitting new driver,
which is:
1. Coccinelle, which points to this specific line since 2014,
2. smatch,
3. sparse,
4. checkpatch,
5. If changing bindings: dt_binding_check,
6. If changing DTS or bindings: dtbs_check.

I still did not point to specific error I see, because I would like you
to setup the tools and find it. This way you will have toolset ready for
any other submissions. I hope this will be helpful.

Thank you for your contribution.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
