Ok, so this code looks pretty crazy to me: I tried removing the
"of_find_spi_gpio" part, and audio started working.

What is going on with the ()s around == s? You made me look up C
operator precedence.

Hmm, and it is also wrong, right? It turns any error code into ENOENT,
as it tries to do the "special handling".

                 *

                if (IS_ERR(desc) && PTR_ERR(desc) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
                        return desc;

                if (!IS_ERR(desc) || (PTR_ERR(desc) != -ENOENT))
                        break;
        }

        /* Special handling for SPI GPIOs if used */
        if (IS_ERR(desc))
                desc = of_find_spi_gpio(dev, con_id, &of_flags);

        /* Special handling for regulator GPIOs if used */
        if (IS_ERR(desc) && PTR_ERR(desc) != -EPROBE_DEFER)
                desc = of_find_regulator_gpio(dev, con_id, &of_flags);

Something like this?

Hmm. Looks like audio is working w/o any changes, too. Not sure why
festival hung on me before.

I rather like the () so one doesn't always have to look up C operator
precedence to verify..

Well, Ok, but then the ()s should be at the other ifs nearby, too. See?

Too many make it impossible to see which close paren ties up with
which open paren.  I've spent way too long in the past reformatting
code, where people think that () are a good thing, to work out what
the comparison is actually doing before then rewriting the damn
thing with less () and in a much clearer way.  I'm now convinced
that unnecessary () are a very bad thing as they severely harm
readability as test complexity increases.

These can be simplified to:

	if (desc == ERR_PTR(-ENOENT))

since error pointers are unique - ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) is what was
returned as an error-pointer, and if IS_ERR(ERR_PTR(-ENOMENT)) etc
were false, we'd have big problems as it'd mean we couldn't detect
error pointers!

As an added bonus, they don't involve any operator precedence
questions either.

Fair enough, I personally prefer always having a new line per condition
when doing chained conditionals:

if (something &&
    this == that &&
    !not_this)

Looks like your suggestion clears up this one anyway.
