[lvc-project] [PATCH v2] regulator: palmas: Check return value of palmas_smps_write()

palmas_set_mode_smps() updates the SMPS mode register when the rail is
enabled, but it ignores a possible error from palmas_smps_write().

If the register write fails, the function still reports success to the
caller even though the hardware mode has not been updated.

Return the error if palmas_smps_write() fails. Update current_reg_mode
and enable_val only after a successful register write so that the cached
driver state remains consistent with the hardware state.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

v2:
- Update current_reg_mode and enable_val only after a successful register
  write to keep the cached state consistent with the hardware state.
