Ok. How did you find this? Any pointers?

There are other locations in this file where 'val' is used even if
regmap_read() fails. For example gemini_pci_recalc_rate() does this. Can
you fix all the callers in this file? Presumably nobody cares that this
API could fail in this driver because it's a thin wrapper around mmio
read that never fails. Maybe we could have a comment instead that this
is the case and then ignore this patch entirely.
