The patch was implemented first without OR'ing error codes. The reason why I
changed this is because I received the comments that checking the error on
every regmap_* didn't help the readability of the driver and is likely to
not fail if the first call doesn't fail.

For example, originally the code was like this:

but I changed to this

Both links are the same ;-) But I believe we all get what you meant.


Ooops, sorry. This is the other link

Just a side note: many other drivers in DRM subsystem, inconsistently
check the return value of the regmap API. Note sure how likely is any
of it [regmap_foo] to fail and/or how determined people are to handle
every possible error case.
