I was not very clear in my way to express this, sorry.

What I wanted to express is that the for loop is heavily indented.
So create a small function like:

anx7625_power_on_interface(ctx)
{
	/* check interface workable */
	ret = anx7625_reg_read(ctx, ctx->i2c.rx_p0_client, FLASH_LOAD_STA);
	if (ret < 0) {
	        DRM_ERROR("IO error : access flash load.\n");
	        return;
	}
	if ((ret & FLASH_LOAD_STA_CHK) == FLASH_LOAD_STA_CHK) {
	        anx7625_disable_pd_protocol(ctx);
	        DRM_DEV_DEBUG_DRIVER(dev, "Firmware ver %02x%02x,",
	                anx7625_reg_read(ctx, ctx->i2c.rx_p0_client,
                                         OCM_FW_VERSION), anx7625_reg_read(ctx,
	                                 ctx->i2c.rx_p0_client, OCM_FW_REVERSION));
	        DRM_DEV_DEBUG_DRIVER(dev, "Driver version %s\n",
	                             ANX7625_DRV_VERSION);
		retunrn 1;
	}
	return 0;
}

and then

	for (i = 0; i < OCM_LOADING_TIME; i++) {
		if (anx7625_power_on_interface(ctx))
			return;
		else
			usleep_range(1000, 1100);
	}

Or something like that. To make it more readable.
I think you get the idea now.

It has a worker, so please be careful in you analysis.

It would be better to start without, and then add it later
so we end up with a clean design.

I for one would have an easier time reviewing.

So please go ahead and remove it for now.
