I would like the way which let me find the source of the
function easily. I don't like that I couldn't find where these
functions are defined, when I search whole the source code.

For example, for the method which Vladimir Oltean provides,
when I search the keyword "pla_ocp_read_byte", I could easily
find out that the source function is "ocp_read_byte".
However, for your patch, I could only find where the function
is used. I think it is not friendly for the newbie who is not
familiar with this driver.

However, I don't think I am the decision maker. This is
just my view.

No.

It is fine.

Best Regards,
Hayes
