Hi,

This is not equivalent. If regulator is provided and enable fails, the
old code is nicely returning error. Now, it will print misleading
message - failed to get regulator - and continue.

While this simplifies the code, it ignores important running
condition -
having regulator enabled.

Would doing this be correct?

ret = devm_regulator_get_enable_optional(&pdev->dev, "vtmu");
switch (ret) {
case 0:
case -ENODEV:

Not sure to understand why -NODEV is not an error


Because this what devm_regulator_get_enable_optional() returns if no
regulator is defined. I also got confused by this a few times.

The code before this change calls devm_regulator_get_optional() which returns -ENODEV too, right ? But there is no special case for this error.

So this change uses devm_regulator_get_enable_optional() and handle the ENODEV as a non-error, so there is a change in the behavior.


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

ret = devm_regulator_get_enable_optional(&pdev->dev, "vtmu");
if (ret < 0) {
    if (ret != EPROBE_DEFER)
        dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to get enabled regulator: %d\n",
ret);
    return ret;
}

??
