I'm almost sure that this isn't what you want. What if the regulator is
hooked up but the bridge driver probes before the regulator. I think
what you really want is to simply propagate the error code via:

	return PTR_ERR(pdata->dvdd10);

My understanding is that the regulator core will give you a dummy one if
there's really nothing hooked up. I think you're also supposed to call
regulator_get_optional() (or the devm_*() equivalent) if this is truly
an optional supply. Given that it's the "core power" regulator I doubt
that it's really optional; it's more likely that you may not be able to
control it, and that it's therefore always on. In that case you're
supposed to model it in DT as a fixed regulator that's always on.

This is fairly minor and it's really the only thing I could find, so no
need to respin just for that. If you're fine with the above solution (to
propagate the error code) I can make the change manually while applying.
