Thank you for an update.
Some nitpicks below.

Is this from the spec? Or can we also spell TELEMETRY ?

Ditto for all occurrences.

I think if you use temporary
  struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
you may squeeze this to one line and make others smaller as well.

Outer parentheses are redundant. And perhaps last two lines can be one.

Redundant assignment of pos.

Can we simple use a boolean flag?

Extra blank line.

+ bits.h since GENMASK() is in use.
