Yes, it is not equal. Error will be returned in case of non existent parameter
in vcnl3020_init but parameter is optional. rc shouldn't be checked or should
return 0 with your suggestion.

rc = device_property_read_u32(...);
if (rc)
return 0;
rc = regmap_write(...);
if (rc)
dev_err(...);
return rc;
