Use dev_err_probe() to simplify the error path and unify a message
template.

Using this helper is totally fine even if err is known to never
be -EPROBE_DEFER.

The benefit compared to a normal dev_err() is the standardized format
of the error code, it being emitted symbolically and the fact that
the error code is returned which allows more compact error paths.

This is ridiculous patch created by some low quality automation without
any review and thoughts from vivo.com side.

You change something which cannot defer, while leaving out unchanged
other places which actually can defer and could benefit.

Stop spamming with such low quality patches.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Agreed. Not only would the driver benefit from using
devm_regulator_get_enable_optional(), the driver should be reworked to use
the with_info hardware monitoring API instead of the old deprecated API.
But that would have to be done by someone actually _using_ that chip.
If that isn't done, cosmeting driver changes like this really don't add
any value.

But then the whole driver, or rather its use or non-use of the supply
voltage, does not really make sense. If the regulator and with it the
voltage isn't available, the temperature sensor values don't make sense.
And if the temperature isn't valid, humidity values are also wrong.
That means using the optional regulator API doesn't make sense to start
with.  Really, that driver needs a complete overhaul if anyone is still
using it, not just cosmetic changes.
