Subject: regulator: core: Correct return value check in regulator_resolve_supply

From: Charles Keepax <ckeepax@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>

commit 23c3f310e897837aeb8ffe8700b803cb58e7b35d upstream.

The ret pointer passed to regulator_dev_lookup is only filled with a
valid error code if regulator_dev_lookup returned NULL. Currently
regulator_resolve_supply checks this ret value before it checks if a
regulator was returned, this can result in valid regulator lookups being
ignored.
