No, if regulator returns either:

* Something valid
* Someting IS_ERR()

... then everywhere has to check the value using IS_ERR().

If regulator returns either:

* Something valid
* Someting NULL

... then everywhere has to check the value against NULL.

checking against both IS_ERR() and NULL shouldn't ever happen, and
likewise IS_ERR_OR_NULL() is deprecated.
