This is I think the wrong choice of return. If the register fails to read
then presumably the device is b*ggered ? In which case return something
like -EIO and log something nasty.
EAGAIN has fairly specific semantics around signals and/or specific
requests for an I/O operation not to wait.

As an aside you could fold most of these functions into one single helper
method that read CTRL_REG, did the and and or and wrote the result back
rather than repeating yourself. But hey if you like typing...

What if there is no resource present ?

The module load succeeded - the user knows it loaded from that. Likewise
the unload spewage is unwanted and the kernel would just drown in such
messages if we didn't keep them in check. If you need the for debug then
mark them dev_dbg but otherwise bin them.
