I'm not quite sure exactly what you've done here but I'm pretty sure
there's some confusion somewhere since the -supply based lookups are of
course what everything in mainline is doing except for CPU supplies.
The fact that you are using of_get_regulator_init_data() is a bit of a
red flag here, you shouldn't have to use that unless your bindings are
in some way unusual.
