Of course. I don't mean we need to delay this patch, but I still think it
would be a good API improvement that could be developed separately (and of
course I wouldn't complain if you volunteered ;-)).

That's correct, but I still think that would make the API clearer. I don't want to block this patch until we make such a change, but it's a good opportunity to discuss it.

It would feel more intuitive to me too, but it would also require to
fix most of the call sites that would have a similar pattern.

How about
lvds->supply = devm_regulator_get_optional(lvds->dev, "power");
if (IS_ERR(lvds->supply)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(lvds->supply);
if (ret != -ENODEV) {
if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
dev_err(lvds->dev, "failed to request
regulator: %d\n", ret);
return ret;
}
lvds->supply = NULL;
}
My preference, however, would be for devm_regulator_get_optional() to return
NULL when no regulator is present. The current implementation returns -ENODEV
in multiple cases, making it impossible to properly discriminate between
having no regulator and not being able to get the regulator due to an error.
Mark, what do you think about this ?

[PATCH] drm/panel: lvds: Handle the optional regulator case properly
The devm_regulator_get_optional function, unlike it was assumed in the
commit a1c55bccf600 ("drm/panel: lvds: Add support for the power-supply
property"), is actually returning an error pointer with -ENODEV instead of
NULL when there's no regulator to find.
Make sure we handle that case properly.

property")
