No, it's not the root of my problem. Again, we are talking about
'Case 2', where multiple regulator devices are registered to
regulator core with regulator driver being probed once, where each
regulator node is taken as the child of 'regulators' node. Having
device_node of 'regulators' attached to dev->of_node does not help
at all. What we need is to have each child node attached to
regulator_dev->dev.of_node.
