Hi Romain,

some more minor feedback from my side.

nit: Please consider using reverse xmas tree - longest line to shortest -
     for local variable declarations in networking code.

lpi_ctl1 is unsigned, it can never be less than zero.

As flagged by Smatch and Coccinelle.

I think this should probably be (completely untested!):

	ret = qca8k_read(priv, QCA8K_REG_EEE_CTRL, &lpi_ctl1);
	if (ret < 0) {

Which would also resolve the issue immediately below too.

It seems that ret is used uninitialised here.

Flagged by clang-16 W=1 builds.
