Hello Kevin,

Since cpufreq and cci devfreq might share the same sram regulator in
MediaTek SoC, it is no longer exclusive as you mentioned.

The reason to use regulator_get_optional is we hope regulator framework
can return error for error handling rather than a dummy handler from
regulator_get api.

I will add this to commit message in next version.

Thanks.

BRs,
Rex
