If there is a regulator described in the firmware we should not continue
with initializing the device if we fail to grab/enable it. Think about
what happens if you get -EPROBE_DEFER here. You should return here.

Also, why are you using the _optional() variant? VDD is not an optional
for the controller. regulator_get_optional() is needed when you need to
alter the behavior of the device/driver depending on the presence of an
optional supply, whereas here it should work fine with a sub supply that
will be created if you simply call devm_regulator_get_enable() and there
is not regulator mentioned in DT/ACPI for the board.

Thanks.
