Yeah, that bit should be fine.

But this breaks the driver as the new helper still returns -ENODEV when
the optional is resource is not present.

Wolfram already suggested using this new helper here:

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230523064310.3005-3-wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com

and also got the error handling right even if that patch will require a
respin for other reasons.

As I mentioned in my reply to Wolfram, I'm generally sceptical of
helpers like this one, but in this case where there are no dependencies
on other resources I guess it's ok.
