If you actively wanted to get -ENODEV back when there is no regulator
then you can use devm_regulator_get_optional() for that.

However perhaps be careful what you wish for. If you use get_optional()
then you will have to sprinkle NULL or IS_ERR() checks everywhere. I'd
favour using the current approach!
