I've never gotten clear guidance here. For instance, in some other
review I suggested using the DRM wrapper and got told "no" [1]. ;-)
The driver landed without the DRM_ERROR versions. I don't really care
lots so it's fine with me to use use DRM_DEV_ERROR, I just wish I
understood the rules...

You're arguing that your version of the code is more efficient? Easier
to understand? Something else? To me, Philip's initial version is
crystal clear and easy to map to the bridge datasheet but I need to
think more to confirm that your version is right. Thinking is hard and
I like to avoid it when possible.

In any case, it's definitely bikeshedding and I'll yield if everyone
likes the other version better. ;-)

Actually, I think it's the "return" that's a bug, isn't it? If we're
doing a "read" and we're returning a positive number of bytes then we
need to actually _read_ them. Reading happens below, doesn't it?
