From df7926fffa9a4c0bceb0189386b4c5edc012fcbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Kryger Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:55:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] regulator: core: Return error in get optional stub Drivers that call regulator_get_optional are tolerant to the absence of that regulator. By modifying the value returned from the stub function to match that seen when a regulator isn't present, callers can wrap the regulator logic with an IS_ERR based conditional even if they happen to call regulator_is_supported_voltage. This improves efficiency as well as eliminates the possibility for a very subtle bug.
