[PATCH] regulator: return NULL for dummy bulk_get operation

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Jan 25 2016 - 10:59:47 EST


Drivers that call regulator_bulk_get or devm_regulator_bulk_get when
CONFIG_REGULATOR is disabled see the function return successfully, but
cannot use the "consumer" pointers that are meant to be returned from
the functions, as the values are uninitialized. Gcc warns about this:

drivers/usb/phy/phy-qcom-8x16-usb.c: In function 'phy_8x16_probe':
drivers/usb/phy/phy-qcom-8x16-usb.c:284:13: error: 'regs[0].consumer' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/usb/phy/phy-qcom-8x16-usb.c:285:13: error: 'regs[1].consumer' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/usb/phy/phy-qcom-8x16-usb.c:286:12: error: 'regs[2].consumer' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

To make the code behave in a reproducible way, this changes the
two dummy function to behave like the non-bulk regulator_get
and devm_regulator_get functions to, returning a NULL pointer with
a successful return code. This also gets rid of the warnings.
