My board dts file is
pmu: tps65910@d2 {
compatible = "ti,tps65910";
reg = <0xd2>;
interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
interrupts = < 0 118 0x04 >;

#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-controller;

#interrupt-cells = <2>;
interrupt-controller;

regulators {
vdd1_reg: vdd1 {
regulator-min-microvolt = < 600000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1500000>;
regulator-always-on;
regulator-boot-on;
ti,regulator-ext-sleep-control = <0>;
};
vdd2_reg: vdd2 {
regulator-min-microvolt = < 600000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1500000>;
regulator-always-on;
regulator-boot-on;
ti,regulator-ext-sleep-control = <4>;
};
};
};

So currently, when regulator_register gets called in
tps65910-regulator.c, it sets the
config.dev = tps65910->dev;
config.of_node as
config.of_node =
of_find_node_by_name(tps65910->dev->of_node,
info->name);
So here config.of_node always shows NULL as the in
tps65910->dev->of_node does not have name same as info->name ie.
regulator name like vdd1, vdd2.

So I changed it to pass the node containing"regulators" for
of_find_node_by_name() and then it got proper of_node like vdd1_reg or
vdd2_reg as per info_name.

Now this node for vdd1_reg, vdd2_reg, is being passed to
regulator_register. And for lookup of node, we should use the
config.of_node which is set.

If we still want to use the parent device for lookup then other way to
use the config.of_node is to take the parameter of device node in this api.

For this it is require to change the apis as

static struct regulator_dev *regulator_dev_lookup(struct device *dev,
const char *supply,
int *ret)

to
static struct regulator_dev *regulator_dev_lookup(struct device *dev,
struct device_node *dev_node,
const char *supply,
int *ret)


and at the time of regulator registration, we should pass config->of_node.
In this way we can still pass parent device and of_node which is passed
by regulator driver.
if (supply) {
struct regulator_dev *r;

r = regulator_dev_lookup(dev, config->of_node, supply,
&ret);

I though this is straight but seems it is becoming more complex now.
I will describe all this details if we agree to change require.
