I think, It could be unsafe to just drop this return.
regulator_get_optional may return:
1 valid pointer on regulator : success;
2 ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)           : regulator is not assigned, can proceed.
3 ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER)     : regulator is assigned, but not ready yet, retry.
4 ERR_PTR(<other error codes>: regulator is assigned, but can't be retrieved, failure, can't proceed

So, It's allowed to continue with host->vcc = NULL; only in case [2], while
in case [4] probe should fail.
