If we search for WILC_CHIPID in the whole driver, there are still two places
manually reading this register. Shouldn't those places also benefit from
wilc_get_chipid ?

Both the one in wilc_wlan_start() and wilc_validate_chipid() look more like some sort of communication check attempt, rather than reading out the chipid for any sort of actual chip identification purpose. I could simply remove those ?

While at it, since you have trimmed the update parameter, it would be nice to
also fix this return value (ie make wilc_getchipid() not return 0 but a real
error code if we can not read the chip id.

Fixed in V3, thanks .
