Looks like my approach to this was wrong - so we should also revert the
changes I made previously.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/panfrost: Revert changes to cope with NULL regulator

Handling a NULL return from devm_regulator_get_optional() doesn't seem
like the correct way of handling this. Instead revert the changes in
favour of switching to using devm_regulator_get() which will return a
dummy regulator instead.

Reverts commit 52282163dfa6 ("drm/panfrost: Add missing check for pfdev->regulator")
Reverts commit e21dd290881b ("drm/panfrost: Enable devfreq to work without regulator")
