The mc13892 example I put in the reply to Grant demonstrates that
for some case, dev->of_node is NULL (devices are created by mfd core).

I still think the discovery of all the child nodes of "regulators" does
not necessarily need to be done in regulator driver. Instead, it can
be done in regulator core.
