Subject: Re: [PATCH] media: st-mipid02: add a check for
 devm_gpiod_get_optional

Hello Chuhong,

 Is this check necessary ?
since looking into code it seems to me devm_gpiod_get_optional() can only
return NULL in case of error due to following check in devm_gpiod_get_index_optional()
	if (IS_ERR(desc)) {
		if (PTR_ERR(desc) == -ENOENT)
			return NULL;
	}
 And in that case reset_gpio is not used

Regards
Mickael
