Probably.  Something like this?

+		/* Need to keep regulator on */
+		if (!bci->usb_enabled &&
+		    bci->usb_reg &&
+		    regulator_enable(bci->usb_reg) == 0)
+			bci->usb_enabled = 1;

In what circumstances can that fail, I wonder.
Still, maybe this is best:


+	bci->usb_reg = regulator_get(bci->dev, "bci3v1");
+	if (IS_ERR(bci->usb_reg)) {
+		dev_warn(&bci->dev, "regulator get bci3v1 failed\n");
+		bci->usb_reg = NULL;
+	}
+

Thanks,
