Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH net-next v3 03/15] net: dsa: mt7530: use regmap to
 access switch register space

Thanks for splitting this patchset up. This is much easier to review.

This is a u32 function. ret should be negative on error, which is
going to be turned positive in order to return a u32. So you probably
want to make this an int function.
