[PATCH 6.19 226/844] ASoC: codecs: max98390: Check return value of devm_gpiod_get_optional() in max98390_i2c_probe()
From: Sasha Levin

[ Upstream commit a1d14d8364eac2611fe1391c73ff0e5b26064f0e ]
The devm_gpiod_get_optional() function may return an error pointer
(ERR_PTR) in case of a genuine failure during GPIO acquisition,
not just NULL which indicates the legitimate absence of an optional
GPIO.
Add an IS_ERR() check after the function call to catch such errors and
propagate them to the probe function, ensuring the driver fails to load
safely rather than proceeding with an invalid pointer.
