The mc comparison here looks like you meant to write a switch
statement.

No need for ret here.

dev_err() seems better, and if you're going to print an error on this
why not move the error prints into the sanity check so someone seeing
the error message can tell what went wrong?

Looks like you left osme debug statements in here.

Coding style: if you have braces on one branch of an if they should be
on both.

Are we sure that HZ is a good timeout here - might it be too short or
too long for some users?

Where did this number come from?
