One line here, please.

The only errno returned appears to be -EINVAL, so maybe say when that
is returned and then "or 0 otherwise".

This can be one line (ignore warnings from checkpatch about that).

This can be one line too.

Why pr_warn()?

Maybe merge the two messages?

I would append the line below to this one.

Why don't you move the count initialization above the if ()?

Do we need such detailed information to be printed here?  If you said
something like "Invalid PCCT format", you could merge the two if ()
branches.
