From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Appling the mask 0x0f to the immediate return of the call to mb86a20s_readreg will always result in a positive value, meaning that the check of ret < 0 will never work. Instead, check for a -ve return value first, and then mask val with 0x0f. Kudos to Mauro Carvalho Chehab for spotting the mistake in my original fix.
