Well, up to you, really, but just think, when you see in dmesg

Cannot ENABLE regulators

or

Cannot enable regulators

which of the two will look more naturally and would you really care,
whether enable / disable were hardcoded or produced?

Sorry, that's not what I mean. I mean, if both are used - regulators and
the .power() callback. Regulators succeeded, but .power(1) failed. In this
case you exit without disabling regulators again.

I know, just as well as most other calls do. So, in this case both tests
"if (ret)" or "if (ret < 0)" are equivalent, but since the rest of the
file uses the "< 0" form, I'd prefer to be consistent.

No. This is not for failing regulator_bulk_get(), this is for failing
soc_camera_power_set(icd, icl, 1), in which case probing is aborted with
an error, so, you have to free all resources, including regulators.

You could do for the very first failure, yes. But there's no need to
change this.
