Okay, it can be changed back to the original one in the next patch version.

It will also be modified.

Agree, both -EINVAL and printing a warning are better.

Oh, you are right. It should be 180 degrees.

With the above correction, it should be modified as below.
If the "invert" is needed, we expect that its value should be greater than 180
degrees. We clear "phase_deg" if its value is unexpected. Maybe, a warning
should be shown and -EINVAL can be returned.

if (invert) {
if (phase_deg >= 180)
phase_deg -= 180;
else
phase_deg = 0;
}

A new property may be the better choice.

Okay.

Yes, an additional property may be better.
