In function regmap_read(), there're two places which could make the read fail.
First, if "reg" and "map->reg_stride" are not aligned, then remap_read() will return -EINVAL without initialize variable "val". Second, _regmap_read() could also fail and return error code if "val" is not initialized. The caller remap_read() returns the same error code, but at91rm9200_timer_interrupt() does not use this information.
