I made a mistake. I should be

if (ret) {
          dev_warn...
}

not returning on error (as you suggested below).

I was sure I was doing just that... I was surprised to see it as it
is.  I'll recheck my branch with all the integrated changes. It passed
my tests as when reset is missed, it normally does not matter. Thanks
for the catch.

Because it does not return a value. There is no way to tell if it failed.
