Hi, Paulo. 
Thanks for a patch.

I think it's good overall. But I have some opinion below.

If we don't modify retval, why don't we just return directly without
retval?

IMHO, I think that we don't need to include 'chip'. Because all other
functions in this code don't have 'chip' in function name. and version
code seems to be more accurate representation.
