When not compiled-in, regulator layer will return a NULL pointer when trying to get a reference to any regulator using devm_regulator_get(). As IS_ERR() does not consider this an error, the ms5611 probing operation will try to enable a NULL regulator, which will invariably cause a kernel crash. This patch fixes this situation by using devm_regulator_get_optional() instead of devm_regulator_get().
