Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: eswin: Fix regulator error check and Kconfig dependency

Smatch reported the following warning in eic7700_pinctrl_probe():

  drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-eic7700.c:638 eic7700_pinctrl_probe()
  warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'

The root cause is that devm_regulator_get() may return NULL when
CONFIG_REGULATOR is disabled. In such case, IS_ERR_OR_NULL() triggers
PTR_ERR(NULL) which evaluates to 0, leading to passing a success code
as an error.

However, this driver cannot work without a regulator. To fix this:

 - Change the check from IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to IS_ERR()
 - Update Kconfig to explicitly select REGULATOR and
   REGULATOR_FIXED_VOLTAGE, ensuring that the regulator framework is
   always available.

This resolves the Smatch warning and enforces the correct dependency.
