Do you actually want to return -EINVAL? I assume this is being driven
by a DT property? And that property is not valid for this chip. So we
want to let the DT writer know. Question is, is there a backwards
compatibility issue? If this has always been silently ignored, and
there are DT with this property, do we want to break them.
