The regulator API should have functions for this rather than open coding it.

This too.

Rather than exporting of_chosen, this whole chunk can be replaced with
a of_find_compatible_node call. Yes, that would match if
simple-framebuffer exists somewhere else in the DT, but it is not the
kernel's job to do DT validation.
