    Thanks for doing the work to fix the driver. Some minor queries/points
    below.

    I feel like EINVAL isn't quite right - it's pretty generic, and the parameter
    value changes its validity with the devicetree context. My gut instinct
    would be to use EINVAL for parameter values that violate assumptions
    of the driver rather than violate configuration of the driver. Maybe ENXIO
    ("No such device or address") is an improvement: "I can't map that device
    because there's no such device or address"?

    See the error code discussion above. Also, this is userspace's error not 
    the kernel's, so I think dev_err() is a bit harsh. Probably best to just let
    userspace log the error if it thinks the it is concerning.

    as above.

    Wow, I think this is an abuse of ENOMEM. Its description is "Out of memory"
    which doesn't really reflect the problem here.
    
    Not really your fault though, maybe we'll fix that with some follow-up patches.
    
    Cheers,
