The backlight driver which is one of the child driver is obtain its DT node like this
np = of_get_child_by_name(dev->parent->of_node, "backlight");

regmap is stored in driver data in MFD.
i2c_set_clientdata(client, regmap);
The child drivers obain the regmap from the parent.
struct regmap *regmap = dev_get_drvdata(dev->parent);
