it is right below the comment you added and hence the misunderstanding.
But focusing on the line where your comment is, there is no probe
deferring in that case. This is why I asked if you were talking about
devm_regulator_get_optional() failing, which is not covered by the
deferring mechanism in the current form.

I have never experienced the case where the regulator was still not
available, but I suppose there is no reason why that should never happen.
The regulator is not mandatory and there is no reason to retry if it is
not defined. But in case it is defined and not available, the deferring
would make sense. I could consider that case as well.
