There is a slight oddity here in that if this regulator has
no struct device we will still get the warning. However, I
am totally not clear on when/why a regulator might not have a
dev, and am fairly sure it isn't common. So my vote would be
to cross that bridge if we ever come to it.
Thanks,
Charles
