I think this requires some description. At least a note that the
function is not altered, just errors from pci reads/writes are no
longer ignored.

I don't think you need the out label, you could just return err.
Adding the label doesn't help in any way IMO, just makes the function
one line longer for no reason.

Same for the out label added to bar_write.
