Panfrost first probe clock, reset and regulator in device_init:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.7-rc1/source/drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_drv.c#L602
Then it probe for optional devfreq, devfreq will get opp tables and
also get regulator again.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.7-rc1/source/drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_drv.c#L609

That's can be reworked and Panfrost can only probe regulator if there
is no opp-table.

But if multiple regulator is not an issue and as each request is logic.
The first in device_init assure to enable the regulator and the second
in OPP assure the voltage level.

Maybe we can just fix this warning?

Thanks,
Clement
