I couldn't find anything that matches this usecase. There are regulator
bulk functions, but they require the names to be known in advance.
And I don't know how many regulators there are nor their names.

From Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/simple-framebuffer.txt:

- *-supply : Any number of regulators used by the framebuffer. These should
be named according to the names in the device's design.

This seems to do the job:

/*
* The binding doc states that simplefb nodes should be sub-nodes of
* chosen and that older devicetree files can have them in a different
* place. of_platform_device_create() just returns NULL if a device
* has already been created for the node.
*/
for_each_compatible_node(np, NULL, "simple-framebuffer")
of_platform_device_create(np, NULL, NULL);
