A report from Colin Ian King pointed a CoverityScan issue where error values on these helpers where not checked in the drivers. These helpers could error out only in case of a software bug in driver code, not because of a runtime/hardware error but in any cases it is safer to handle these errors properly. Before fixing the drivers, let's add some consistency and fix these helpers error handling.
