EPS_BRAND_C3 isn't handled by this driver. So you have to return -ENODEV 
for it. Why this code is suspect?
If you looking for an error it is probably in:
 > rdmsr(0x1154, lo, hi);
 > brand = (((lo >> 4) ^ (lo >> 2))) & 0x000000ff;
which was added later to this driver. Probably & 0xff should be replaced 
by & 3.
