The devm_regulator_get_optional function, unlike it was assumed in the
commit a1c55bccf600 ("drm/panel: lvds: Add support for the power-supply
property"), is actually returning an error pointer with -ENODEV instead of
NULL when there's no regulator to find.

Make sure we handle that case properly.

Fixes: a1c55bccf600 ("drm/panel: lvds: Add support for the power-supply property")

I guess that would be != -EPROBE_DEFER

Otherwise, it works for me.

It would feel more intuitive to me too, but it would also require to
fix most of the call sites that would have a similar pattern.
