there is another failure case, which is not properly covered:
if the system is non-device-tree, the function of_property_read_u32 returns -ENOSYS.
While you are correcting the return value, you may also correct this case.

the non-device-tree case could be simply covered by this:
	if (ret == -EINVAL || ret == -ENOSYS)
