Ok, that makes sense. Actually, I'm already using "address invalid" in the error
messages when reading the address fails, so I'll change to EINVAL for
consistency.

I had only used 'ret' specifically in this one function, because I didn't like
"if (err != 2)" (and I apparently decided that I disliked that more than the
inconsistency introduced by using 'ret'). I'll stick to calling the variable
'err', and change the clause to (err != ARRAY_SIZE(addr)) to make it more
obvious that 2 isn't just some random return value.
Best,
Sander
