This blank line is redundant.

And entire code can be rewritten in a shorter way
(in this case the type not needed to be changed):

	err = gp2ap020a00f_get_thresh_reg(chan, dir);
	if (err < 0)
		goto error_unlock;
	thresh_reg_l = err;

but this one is up to maintainers as I know Jonathan likes the clear naming
to be assigned to (however when written as above it clear to me what's the
semantics of the non-negative returns).

...

Ditto for the other function.
