Would doing this be correct?

ret = devm_regulator_get_enable_optional(&pdev->dev, "vtmu");
switch (ret) {
case 0:
case -ENODEV:
	break;
case -EPROBE_DEFER:
	return -EPROBE_DEFER;
default:
	dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to get enabled regulator: %d\n",
		ret);
	return ret;
}

I understand that we would get -ENODEV in case of the regulator being
unavailable, which we would ignore (this is the "equivalent" of
devm_regulator_get_optional failing in the original code). And in case
of enable failing, we would get some other error, which we would handle.

Thanks for being patient with me by the way, hopefully I will learn quickly :)

Best regards,
Mateusz
