What if you move this to leds.h so core and class can both include it.

Is the regulator always going to be called power?
Actually in the dts, that will be "power-supply". I lacked the imagination
to come up with a better name.

This is listed as optional in the DT doc. This appears to be required.
The regulator core will provide a dummy regulator if none is given in the
device tree. I would rather have an error in that case, but that is not how
it works.
If you actively wanted to get -ENODEV back when there is no regulator
then you can use devm_regulator_get_optional() for that.

However perhaps be careful what you wish for. If you use get_optional()
then you will have to sprinkle NULL or IS_ERR() checks everywhere. I'd
favour using the current approach!

Thanks for the info. I think I'll use the get_optionnal(). That will add a bit of complexity, but it will avoid deferring some work in led_set_brightness_nopm() when it is not needed.

Daniel.


I prefer to keep it optional. Many LED drivers are connected to fixed
non-managed supplies.

Again this seems to indicate that the regulator is a required property
for the LEDs

This needs to be made optional. And the same comment through out for
every call.
