The device_property_read_u8_array() call should not fail because it is preceded with device_property_count_u8() and check for number of readable u8 values. However the code is more obvious and easier to read if the return value of device_property_read_u8_array() is checked. Otherwise reader needs to investigate whether really there is no risk of using random stack values of 'rcomp' variable.
