I think we want to return `rc' here, not zero?

fyi, you could simply do

return sprintf(data, "%llx\n", value);

here (and in all the other places). `u64' will always be implemented
as `unsigned long long' on this architecture. One day _all_ 64-bit
architectures will use ull for u64 and zillions of these typecasts will
no longer be needed. You'll be safe preparing for that day in this
driver ;)

Again, this should report the error.

Many instances...

hm, odd. We'd normally use plain old `unsigned long' here. But as
mentioned above, we can remove these casts.
