Hi Jaakko,

A few things inline,

Thanks,

Only called from problem so prefer use of

		return dev_err_probe().

Also don't eat the error if it returns on (rather than a short access).

Spec reference needed for any sleep times.

return dev_err_probe() and don't eat the error return if there is one.

CRC fail indicates broken comms. I'd fail hard on this one.

There should be a distinction between the test failed to run and failed to pass.
For failing to run (e.g. comms error) then fail the probe.  Failing to pass
the test is what you might choose to carry on from.
