Where you agree, just crop it out. Saves on scrolling!

It's simple and worth taking a look for new drivers as it makes some error paths much much simpler.
I'm sitting on a big set that applies it to quite few IIO drivers.

Problem here is why do you think that regulator is optional? Does your device
work with out power?  What is optional is whether the regulator is fixed and
on and hence doesn't need to be in DT or whether it is specified there.
That's unconnected to the enabling in driver.

The call you have here is for when the power supply really is optional.
That is the driver does something different if nothing is supplied on the pin.
Typically this is used when we have option of either an internal reference voltage
or supplying an external one. The absence on an external one means we fallback
to only enabling the internal one.
