Have you tried doing that? Notice how the regulator API subtitutes in a
dummy regulator for you and the driver works fine without custom code.

It's not a valid scenario in driver code - the driver shouldn't be
randomly ignoring errors and hoping the errors were deliberate rather
than indiciations of real problems.

Right. Like I say it looks like your power up path is fast enough for
this.

Actually it does look like you handle this correctly further down, the
normal pattern would have been to have the error handling inside the if
here and not indent the rest of the success path so I misread it.
