    regulator: change devm_regulator_get_enable_optional() stub to return Ok
    
    [ Upstream commit ff33132605c1a0acea59e4c523cb7c6fabe856b2 ]
    
    The devm_regulator_get_enable_optional() should be a 'call and forget'
    API, meaning, when it is used to enable the regulators, the API does not
    provide a handle to do any further control of the regulators. It gives
    no real benefit to return an error from the stub if CONFIG_REGULATOR is
    not set.
    
    On the contrary, returning an error is causing problems to drivers when
    hardware is such it works out just fine with no regulator control.
    Returning an error forces drivers to specifically handle the case where
    CONFIG_REGULATOR is not set, making the mere existence of the stub
    questionalble.
    
    Change the stub implementation for the
    devm_regulator_get_enable_optional() to return Ok so drivers do not
    separately handle the case where the CONFIG_REGULATOR is not set.
