initial value is unnecessary.

I think, need check return value.
if failed to read then you should not update data.
and such a case, do we need to read end of num?
why don't you return error directly?
I think this code should be..

		ret = pmic_reg_read(p, addr, &dat);
		if (ret)
			return ret;

		*(data + i) = (u16)dat;

> +		*(data + i) = (u16) dat;

please remove space between ) and dat.

then it can be return 0; and initial value ( = 0) is unnecessary.

if (val & MAX17042_POR) ?
