Hi Chuhong,
Thanks for the patch.

This regulator is marked as mandatory in the device tree entry,
however it looks good to me to have this check, even because it
can return -EPROBE_DEFER and we need to retry.

But for that we may need to extend this patch to make the caller
of this (mipi_csis_probe), to also really care about the returned
code.

Cheers,
