error handling is already there. ap192_ak4114_init is being called by revo_init,
where the return value is being checked. revo_init is the callback function of
chip_init, so if we return the error value here then chip_init will fail.
but since the author commented "error ignored; it's no fatal error", so i also
thought of ignoring the error.
I will send you a revised patch.
