What happens if venus_helper_get_bufreq() returns an error? It seems
that we just happily continue with whatever the previous value of
ctrl->val was. It seems like we do the same with other controls as
well.

I think you can fix this globally by initializing ret to 0 at the
beginning of the function, and then returning ret instead of 0 at the
end. That way all errors would be propagated. Of course please check
that this is relevant for other controls following this scheme before
doing so. :)
