I prefer using get_optional and not getting the dmesg output about using a dummy regulator, that tends to leads to users asking questions and dealing with not having the regulator is easy, but if you want me to drop the _optional bit and turn any errors into hard errors I can do that for v2.

That is not great. I'd rather we powered the device up during probe(), but then shut it off and waited for ->open() to be called. And power it down in ->close(). You also need to handle it in suspend and resume.
The problem is the chip needs firmware (actually config data and lookup tables with info about the digitizer) and loading that takes aprox. 1 second so keeping the regulator on is better IMHO. As for power usage the device also has an enable pin, which we already drive high on open / drive low on close (and suspend/resume), with this pin low the current usage of the device is very minimal. Actually of the 20 tablets I've with a gsl chip only 2 have taken the trouble to hook it up to a separate regulator. All the others just have it hooked to their default 3.3V rail. So re-loading the firmware on open / resume would penalize 18 of these with a 1 second delay, for a very minimal current saving on 2 of these. IMHO, esp. adding 1s delay to resume is not acceptable. So all in all I would like you to take this as is :) But if you still want a v2 let me know.
