I added it because in some cases (for eg. if the peripheral clock is disabled) the reads can return 0 which is obviously an invalid version and the bridge will error in the next step when not finding a layout.

If you'll error anyway, why wait? IIUC at this point the clock *must* be enabled, and if not, something is wrong with the driver, I don't see any advantage on delay the error. do you have a use case where this is called and peripheral clock disabled?

There should be no real use-case (maybe malfunctioning HW), and we could error out here to catch driver bugs ASAP, so I'll go this route then :)

Thank you, much appreciated!


So I'll make this a warning in v7 and explicitely mention that
reads version == 0 can be caused by a disabled pclk.
