Hi Jacopo,

thank you for your patch!

And sorry for the delay in my review.

I have a couple of questions. With this:

Should values be validated or masked before programming? Since this is
uAPI-controlled input, it may be worth rejecting values with bits outside
MALI_C55_CCM_COEF_MASK rather than silently truncating them in update_bits().

The comment says offsets are 12-bit unsigned integers. Is there a reason why
instead of validation in the params parser so userspace gets an error for values
above 4095, we rely on register masking?
