Subject: [PATCH] regulator: fixed: Remove WARs for handling of_get_named_gpio() return

The GPIO interface of_get_named_gpio() has implemented the proper
error returns even EPROBE_DEFER and hence caller need not to
implement any WAR for translating the returned error.

Remove the WAR implemented in fixed regulator to handle the
return of of_get_named_gpio().
