As mentioned in my comment to the helper patch, we should have different 
returnvalue here depending on if the given times were invalid (and new 
gain was not computed) or if the new_gain was computed but not 
supported. I plan to use -ERANGE to denote "new gain computed but not 
supported" and add...

+                       if (ret != -ERANGE)
+                               goto unlock_out;

... here at v7.
