There can be +5V for HDMI but without a regulator that is visible to or controllable
by the driver.

So hdmi-5v can be simply missing in DTS in which case the driver does not need to
care about. The driver just can't turn it on or off.

The special case is to not enable/disable the regulator if it does not exist
and assume that there is hardware providing it otherwise (the driver can't know
that except by using get_optional). This is done by the code below

>>> + if (IS_ERR(regulator)) {

BR and thanks,
