That's a completely different driver, no need to be consistent.

See include/video/mipi_display.h

Can you point me to the specification of these? I'd like to investigate
whether or not we can turn these into more sensible commands. As-is, it
is completely obfuscated and I'd like to avoid that where possible.

Okay, please add a comment on what this is supposed to do, then.

PTR_ERR() returns signed long, not unsigned.

You can still use the same format for the message and substitute the
%ld printk specifier to match the type.
