Nit: Pop this on the line above.

It's only a valid 'error' if you're return an error condition.
AFAICT, you're not doing that, so use dev_warn() instead.

I think the whole thing would be better written like:

		if (arizona->aod_irq_chip) {
			/*
			 * Check the AOD status register to determine whether
			 * the nested IRQ handler should be called.
			 */
			ret = regmap_read(arizona->regmap,
					  ARIZONA_AOD_IRQ1, &val);
			if (ret)
				dev_warn(arizona->dev,
					"Failed to read AOD IRQ1 %d\n",	ret);
			else if (val)
				handle_nested_irq(
					irq_find_mapping(arizona->virq, 0));
		}
