Subject: [PATCH 3/3] iio: adc: twl4030: Return an error if we can not enable the vusb3v1 regulator in 'twl4030_madc_probe()'

If we can not enable the regulator, go through the error handling path
instead of silently continuing.

This patch is highly speculative.
I don't find logical to return an error if we don't find the 'vusb3v1'
regulator, but continue if we find it, but can't enable it.
Returning an error if both cases (i.e. failing 'devm_regulator_get()' or
'regulator_enable)' seems the usual pattern in all the .probe functions
with a 'regulator_enable()' call have looked at (~ 10 of them taken
randomly)
