Hi Kangjie,

Thank you for the patch.

You can return 0 here.

If both functions fail with a different error code, this may result in a
meaningless error being returned. One option is to do

err = anx78xx_set_bits(...);
if (!err)
err = anx78xx_clear_bits(...);

The construct gets quickly ugly though, so I sometimes define register
accessors as taking an int * for the error code instead of returning it.

void write(..., int *status)
{
if (*status)
return;

*status = real_write(...);
}

and then use it as

int status = 0;

write(..., &status);
write(..., &status);
write(..., &status);
write(..., &status);
write(..., &status);

return status;

This may be overkill here.

And return 0 here too, removing the need to initialize the err variable to 0.

Wouldn't it be better to move the error message to the an78xx_poweron()
function ? That way it would also be printed in the probe() path.

If poweron fails, doesn't it clean up after itself ? Do you need to call
poweroff here ?
