Probably. Something like this?

+ /* Need to keep regulator on */
+ if (!bci->usb_enabled &&
+ bci->usb_reg &&
+ regulator_enable(bci->usb_reg) == 0)
+ bci->usb_enabled = 1;

In what circumstances can that fail, I wonder.
Still, maybe this is best:


+ bci->usb_reg = regulator_get(bci->dev, "bci3v1");
+ if (IS_ERR(bci->usb_reg)) {
+ dev_warn(&bci->dev, "regulator get bci3v1 failed\n");
+ bci->usb_reg = NULL;
+ }
+

Thanks,
