Hi Tomi,

Thank you for the patch.

This seems to work around the lack of error checking when calling
ub913_read(). Wouldn't it be better to check for errors there ? Or,
because this is ub913_log_status(), do you consider that we can print an
invalid CRC errors count, given that the ub913_read() function will have
printed an error message before ?
