The kernel doesn't use C99 comments. Oddly enough, this isn't actually
in the coding style doc (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst), nor is
it caught by scripts/checkpatch.pl (even though it clearly has a 'C99
comment' rule).

Same here.

I'm not very familiar with this code, but judging by your problem
description in previous threads and by comparing with the logic in
_regulator_get_voltage() (for when to reference the ->supply), this
seems resonable. So:

It's probably worth verifying that this doesn't break whatever Javier
was supporting in the first place, as a sanity check.
