Right, as if you don't the hardware might be off and USB won't work
without a useful error message.

Looking at 84cf5cfa9a there is at least a comment missing about why this
property is deleted. Something like

The difference between regulator_get and regulator_get_optional is that
the former doesn't return -ENODEV but yields the dummy regulator
instead. (Yes, this is the inversed semantic compared with
gpio_get_optional() and clk_get_optional().) So using
devm_regulator_get_optional and ignoring -ENODEV is kind of strange. So
I think the above can be simplified to:
platdata->reg_vbus = devm_regulator_get(dev, "vbus");
if (IS_ERR(platdata->reg_vbus))
return dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(platdata->reg_vbus),
"Failed to get vbus regulator\n");
and then it is more obvious that my barebox patch does the same.
Am I missing something?
Best regards
Uwe
