These are timing and analog control related registers.
I do have the register names from the datasheet. For some of them I also know 
the functionality, but for a few I am not entirely sure how they impact the 
image, so I have left them as-is. If you prefer, I can replace the raw addresses 
with the actual register names.

If these are equal, then ret already remains 0, so it will return 0.
But I am fine either way, whatever you prefer.

You are right, the enable GPIO is already high at this point.
According to the datasheet, the PWDN pin (mapped to enable_gpio) must be high 
before enabling any regulators. Since this GPIO is active-low, driving it low 
keeps PWDN high as required.

The extra fsleep(3 * USEC_PER_MSEC) was added as a guard delay, but it is not 
mandated by the datasheet and can be safely removed.
