Do we really need this?

Why not using devm_add_action() / devm_add_action_or_reset()
(whichever suits better here)?

I don't know the conventions here, but I find better to have it as

static inline __must_check struct regulator *
devm_of_regulator_get_optional(struct device *dev, struct device_node *node, const char *id)

Similar to other stubs and declarations.
