That looks superfluous, just return -EINVAL directly in the else case above.

Apart from that this is for ~15year old hardware. I'm a bit reluctant 
adding code for something that old even when this change here looks 
harmless.

Is there a plan to complain about that in an automated checker? If yes 
then the change is probably justified, if no then I would rather not do it.
