Smatch complains correctly that the NULL checking isn't consistent: drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/ite-it6505.c:2583 it6505_poweron() error: we previously assumed 'pdata->pwr18' could be null (see line 2569) These the ->pwr18 pointer is allocated during probe using the devm_regulator_get() function. If CONFIG_REGULATOR is disabled then, yes, it can return NULL but in that case regulator_enable() and disable() functions are no-ops so passing a NULL pointer is okay. Smatch is correct that the NULL checks are inconsistent but the fix is to delete the unnecessary NULL checking. Do the same for "pdata->ovdd" as well.
