Why do we have such requirement? To me it would make more sense to add
binding documentation in the same commit as the code that uses these
bindings.

I like "error", in fact there are a lot of these in input. I use "error" for
data that is only returned from error path and "retval" when the same
variable is returned in both success and error paths.

Even better would be not use 0x0001 as vendor as there (unfortunately)
quite a few other drivers use it already. Either omit or chose something
else. Does ST have PCI or USB VID assigned?

Thanks.
