You have a lot of checks in this code that display an error message and then return an Err().

But then ...

There are several lines where you just terminate them with "?".  This means that no error message is
displays. 

I think all of these ? should be replaced with something like:

	gsp_falcon.reset(bar).inspect_err(|e| {
            dev_err!(pdev.as_ref(), "Failed to reset GSP falcon: {:?}\n", e);
        })?;

This feels like something that would benefit from a macro, but I can't imagine what that would look
like.
