Hi Suzuki,

I've reviewed the logic here. It's not feasible for the caller to 
perform the check, since we first retrieve TPDM's drvdata, which adds 
complexity to the code. I believe it's better to handle this within the 
function itself.

We are expecting the element_size for cmb if the condition is true, as 
well as dsb:
if (tpdm_data->dsb)
...
should obtain a valid element size for dsb.
...

if (tpdm_data->cmb)
...
should obtain a valid element size for cmb.
...

Thanks,
Jie
