Looks like a good catch.

Probably will be a bit better to write this as:

/* for not coupled regulators this will just set the voltage */
ret = regulator_balance_voltage(rdev, state);
- if (ret < 0)
- goto out2;
-
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ voltage->min_uV = old_min_uV;
+ voltage->max_uV = old_max_uV;
+ }
out:
- return 0;
-out2:
- voltage->min_uV = old_min_uV;
- voltage->max_uV = old_max_uV;
-
return ret;
}
