    This is another very nice patch!

    Nitpick:

    > + return -EINVAL;

    It'd be nice to add a comment saying what is in regs[1] at this point
    so it is easier to understand the code. Not your fault as it is just
    moved code, but if you have time please add a small comment.

    Yours,
    Linus Walleij
