The behavior of regulator_dev_lookup() for non-DT way has been broken
since the commit
b8c325545714 ("regulator: Move OF-specific regulator
lookup code to of_regulator.c").
Before the commit, of_get_regulator() was used to get the regulator,
which returns NULL if the regulator is not found. So the regulator
will be looked up through regulator_lookup_by_name() if no matching
regulator is found in regulator_map_list.
However, currently, of_regulator_dev_lookup() is used to instead of
of_get_regulator(), but the variable 'r' is set to ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)
instead of NULL if the regulator is not found. In this case, if no
regulator is found in regulator_map_list, the variable 'r' is still
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), So regulator_dev_lookup() returns the value of 'r'
directly instead of continuing to look up the regulator through
regulator_lookup_by_name().
