Did you mean msleep()? mdelay(300) is a lot of spinning.

AI code review points out on failure you just print a FAIL and carry on.
Is this because this is what the vendor driver does? Or we know bad CRC
FWs exist in the wild? A comment would be useful here..

Please name labels after what they jump to. Per CodingStyle..

TBH the gotos are a bit hard to read, maybe factor out the logic that
can fail to a separate function? Then we can just capture ret here and
fall thru; and the helper itself can return ret; directly.
