Hi Robert, a few comments inline.

Thanks,

This is unusual. Why the WARN_ONCE?  How can an error code
be bad?  It may well panic.  Fine to have a dev_err() or similar
but this seems excessive.

Unrelated change so doesn't belong in this patch.   I'd also split the
dev_dbg into two paths both to reduce modification and because people
might grep for "unsupported by driver"

Feels like passing in size as a pointer that is then updated might be cleaner.
