Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: atomisp: move null check to earlier point

`find_gmin_subdev` function that returns a pointer to `struct
gmin_subdev` can return NULL.

In `gmin_v2p8_ctrl` there's a call to this function but the possibility
of a NULL was not checked before its being dereferenced. ie:

```
/* Acquired here --------v */
struct gmin_subdev *gs = find_gmin_subdev(subdev);

/*  v------Dereferenced here */
if (gs->v2p8_gpio >= 0) {
    ...
}
```

To avoid the issue, null check has been moved to an earlier point
and return semantics has been changed to reflect this exception.

Please do note that this change introduces a new return value to
`gmin_v2p8_ctrl`.

[NEW] - raise a WARN and return -ENODEV if there are no subdevices.
      - return result of `gpio_request` or `gpio_direction_output`.
      - return 0 if GPIO is ON.
      - return results of `regulator_enable` or `regulator_disable`.
      - according to PMIC type, return result of `axp_regulator_set`
        or `gmin_i2c_write`.
      - return -EINVAL if unknown PMIC type.
