Yes, in my first patch I had swapped the ret and ac_draw assignments
when I moved the regulator_get() call to before the update_charger()
call. This was because the original order of the assignments:

ac_draw = NULL;
ret = PTR_ERR(ac_draw);

is obviously incorrect; the ac_draw assignment overwrites the error
code that should be returned by PTR_ERR().

Anyway, thank you for sorting this out!

Paul
