The diffstat here suggests that this isn't really helpful. Even if you
subtract the regulator code that adds the new helper, you actually have
a zero diffstat (and a positive one in one case).
Instead, why don't we take this one step further and roll a bit more of
the boilerplate into the new helper, something along these lines:
struct regulator_bulk_data *
devm_regulator_bulk_get_from_names(struct device *dev,
const char * const *supply_names,
unsigned int num_supplies)
{
struct regulator_bulk_data *data;
unsigned int i;
int err;
data = devm_kcalloc(dev, num_supplies, sizeof(*data));
if (!data)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
for (i = 0; i < num_supplies; i++)
data[i].supply = supply_names[i];
err = devm_regulator_bulk_get(dev, num_supplies, data);
if (err < 0)
return ERR_PTR(err);
return data;
}
That seems to be still a very common pattern and gets rid of a lot more
boilerplate, so your diffstat will actually start to be negative at some
point.
I suppose one could add a non-managed variant for this as well, but I'm
counting 6 uses of regulator_bulk_get() vs. ~140 uses of the managed
variant, so I'm not sure it's worth it.
