Smatch reported the following warning in eic7700_pinctrl_probe():
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-eic7700.c:638 eic7700_pinctrl_probe()
warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'
The root cause is that devm_regulator_get() may return NULL when
CONFIG_REGULATOR is disabled. In such case, IS_ERR_OR_NULL() triggers
PTR_ERR(NULL) which evaluates to 0, leading to passing a success code
as an error.
However, this driver cannot work without a regulator. To fix this:
- Change the check from IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to IS_ERR()
- Update Kconfig to explicitly select REGULATOR and
REGULATOR_FIXED_VOLTAGE, ensuring that the regulator framework is
always available.
This resolves the Smatch warning and enforces the correct dependency.
