Can regulator_get return NULL? As far as I can see, it either returns a
valid reulator pointer or an ERR_PTR value.

When you say "if requested", do you mean "if described in the dt"? If
so, the above doesn't distunguish between a regulator not being listed
and one failing to be got (e.g. if we got EPROBE_DEFER from
regulator_get).

I think this would be better handled with something like Mark Brown's
suggested regulator_get_optional [1,2].

Thanks,
Mark.
