This function is supposed to return zero on success or negative error codes on error. Unfortunately, there is a bug so it sometimes returns non-zero, positive numbers on success. I noticed this bug during review and I can't test it. It does appear that the return is sometimes propogated back to _regmap_read() where all non-zero returns are treated as failure so this may affect run time.
