What does this comment mean?

The comment format here with // is not usually used in the kernel, but its not
forbidded.  Could you use the /* */ multiline style?

Instead of stopping the system with BUG, could we just do:

	return litex_check_csr_access(soc_ctrl_dev->base);

We already have failure for NODEV/NOMEM so might as well not call BUG() here
too.

Other than that it looks ok to me.
