Please do not use "This commit/patch/change", but imperative mood. See

Don't add dead code. This cannot be anything else than ST7920_FAMILY.

Several places here can be simplified (and "possible" future code is not
an argument here - this patch must be correct, simple and stand on its

Misaligned but also this looks like ENOMEM error and such should never
have dev_err.
