The register to program pbias regulator is 0x4A002E00. The syscon base address
is 0x4a002000. So the vsel_reg and enable_reg should have the offset from
syscon base address. regulator_enable_regmap gets the base address from
'regmap' and offset from 'enable_reg' in order to program the pbias regulator.

But without this patch vsel_reg and enable_reg have the absolute address
instead of just the offset.

platform_get_resource can be used if we need the absolute address but here we
need only the offset.

Thanks
