missing '\n' termination.

same missing newline, etc

It might also be better to use a consistent error message like

dev_err(purelifi_chip_dev(chip), "%s: failed, r=%d\n", r);

for both.

Seems odd to set .flags to 0 for only some of the entries.
Perhaps more readable to always leave it off if unset.
