Now it's clear to me.
Thanks, Let's follow this way then :)

I'm going for example to switch to:

static int alvium_get_offy_params(struct alvium_dev *alvium)
{
	u64 offy_min, offy_max, offy_inc;
	int ret = 0;

	alvium_read_check(alvium, REG_BCRM_IMG_OFFSET_Y_MIN_R, &offy_min, &ret);
	alvium_read_check(alvium, REG_BCRM_IMG_OFFSET_Y_MAX_R, &offy_max, &ret);
	alvium_read_check(alvium, REG_BCRM_IMG_OFFSET_Y_INC_R, &offy_inc, &ret);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	alvium->min_offy = offy_min;
	alvium->max_offy = offy_max;
	alvium->inc_offy = offy_inc;

	return 0;
}

What do you think about?
Same for similar pattern.

Many thanks.
