This is better, but please use a grammar period as well.

Please, split the assignment and get it closer to its user, so

  int ret;

  ret = ...
  if (ret)

This applies to all similar cases.

Actually all comments are against the entire code even if it's given
only for one occurrence of the similar code block.

  return regmap_...(...);

Same for other similar places.

Useless comments.

You can  do

  val = 0xffff;

here...

...and

  }
  return val;

here.

If the count is guaranteed to be greater than 0, it would be better to use

  do {
    ...
  } while (--count);

There is no user of this header, but missing bits.h and one that
provides netdev_priv().

...

Why is this in the header?
