I applied this to for-5.15-fixes.

Note that the code right before the hunk you fixed looks like this:

        hpriv->ahci_regulator = devm_regulator_get(dev, "ahci");
        if (IS_ERR(hpriv->ahci_regulator)) {
                rc = PTR_ERR(hpriv->ahci_regulator);
                if (rc != 0)
                        goto err_out;
        }

This looks very strange to me. The "if (rc != 0)" seems bogus since if
IS_ERR() is true, then hpriv->ahci_regulator is not NULL, it is an error
pointer. Some cleanup seems necessary to me.
