[PATCH v2 1/1] drm/tyr: make SRAM supply optional like panthor

From: Onur Özkan

Date: Thu Feb 12 2026 - 05:07:05 EST


On rk3588s, `dmesg | grep 'tyr'` logs:

tyr fb000000.gpu: supply SRAM not found, using dummy regulator

This happens because Tyr calls Regulator<Enabled>::get() for SRAM,
which goes through the non-optional regulator_get() path. If the
device tree doesn't provide sram-supply, regulator core falls back
to a dummy regulator and writes that log.

Panthor handles SRAM as optional and tolerates missing sram-supply.
This patch matches that behavior in Tyr by using optional regulator
lookup and storing SRAM as Option<Regulator<Enabled>> which avoids
dummy-regulator fallback/noise when SRAM is not described inside
the device tree.
