Hi

Biggest remaining thing is squashing
ret = -ENODEV;
return ret;

into the shorter
return -ENODEV;

Probably makes more sense to have the error as 
"No 1.25V channel found\n");

It's not obvious to anyone getting this error what 'define' might mean
without them looking at the code, so I'd rather we just said what had
gone wrong rather offering incomplete advice.

Don't bother assigning a variable just to return it in the next line.

return -ENODEV;

Can't get here with anything other than ret == 0 so
	return 0;
to make that explicit.
