It would be really nice if we could break this down into smaller
pieces and start getting it merged. It is really tough to keep
reviewing this much code in one patch over and over again.

Here are some initial findings from testing:

I got the following error after `modprobe -r ti-eqep`:

This needs to be `if (err < 0)`. There are cases where the functions
above return positive values. (And to be overly safe, it probably wouldn't
hurt to use err < 0 everywhere - not just in this function.)
