In this exact case, the issue has been fixed by similar patch in media-tree
master branch. You likely used another branch for preparing this patch.

Nevertheless, thank you for the patch --- this kind of cleanups are always
much appreciated.

    [media] media: i2c/adp1653: fix check of devm_gpiod_get() error code
    
    The devm_gpiod_get() function returns either a valid pointer to
    struct gpio_desc or ERR_PTR() error value, check for NULL is bogus.
