Qingshuang Fu fddb5ceaf9 hwmon: (ads7828) Fix external VREF regulator handling
The driver currently has two issues with the external VREF regulator
handling in ads7828_probe():

1. All errors from devm_regulator_get_optional() are ignored, causing the
   driver to incorrectly fall back to internal VREF even for transient
   errors like -EPROBE_DEFER or genuine failures like -ENOMEM.

2. The external regulator is never enabled. The driver calls
   regulator_get_voltage() without first calling regulator_enable(),
   so the VREF pin may remain unpowered if the regulator is not
   configured as always-on.

Fix both issues by switching to devm_regulator_get_enable_read_voltage(),
which handles regulator get, enable, and voltage read in one call.
Only -ENODEV (no regulator specified in device tree) should trigger the
fallback to internal VREF. All other errors are propagated to the caller.
