My error handling "cleanup" was totally wrong. Both the "err" and "ret" variables are required. The "err" variable holds the error codes for rv3029_eeprom_enter/exit() and the "ret" variable holds the error codes for if actual write fails. In my patch if the write failed, the function probably still returned success.
