Just try to get the regulator by name and do not try to be clever about this, the regulator core will give you a dummy supply if the regulator is not there. > + if (data->vcc_reg_name) { Just skip this check. > + data->vcc_reg = devm_regulator_get(&client->dev, > + data->vcc_reg_name); Just data->vcc_reg = devm_regulator_get(&client->dev, "vcc"); > + if (IS_ERR(data->vcc_reg)) { > + ret = PTR_ERR(data->vcc_reg); > + dev_err(&client->dev, > + "Failed to get vcc_reg regulator: %d\n", ret); > + return ret; > + } And keep this. You will get a dummy or stub working just fine if the regulator is not there. > + ret = ds4424_regulator_onoff(indio_dev, PWR_ON); > + if (ret < 0) { > + pr_err("Unable to turn on the regulator. %s:%d, ret: %d\n", > + __func__, __LINE__, ret); > + return ret; > + } I don't think this helper is even needed. Just enable it here. Disable it on the other paths. Problem solved.
