This is generally smaller code using a temporary and
a single call instead of two calls like:

	int cmd;

	...

	if (bl->props.power == 0)
		cmd = 0;		/* take out of standby */
	else
		cmd = ARCXCNN_CMD_STDBY;
	arcxcnn_update_bit(lp, ARCXCNN_CMD, ARCXCNN_CMD_STDBY, cmd);

or maybe

	arcxcnn_update_bit(lp, ARCXCNN_CMD, ARCXCNN_CMD_STDBY,
			   bl->props.power == 0 ? 0 : ARCXCNN_CMD_STDBY);

props has already been zeroed by devm_kzalloc and doesn't
need to be memset to 0 again.

This blank line above is generally not needed.

the typical style is:

	rtn = foo(...)
	if (rtn < 0)
		error_handler...

The cascading indentation can be avoided by using return;
as necessary

	ret = of_property_count_u32_elems(node, "led-sources");
	if (ret < 0) {
		lp->pdata->leden = ARCXCNN_LEDEN_MASK; /* all on is default */
		return;
	}

	num_entry = min(ret, ARCXCNN_LEDEN_BITS);
	ret = of_property_read_u32_array(node, "led-sources", sources, num_entry);
	if (ret < 0) {
		dev_err(dev, "led-sources node is invalid\n");
		return;
	}

	lp->pdata->leden = 0;

	/* for each enable in source, set bit in led enable */
	for (entry = 0; entry < num_entry; entry++) {
		u8 onbit = 1 << sources[entry];

		lp->pdata->leden |= onbit;
	}
