of_find_node_by_name() doesn't work that way.  The first argument is a
starting point, but it doesn't restrict the search to children of a
node.

for_each_child_of_node() is what you want to use when iterating over
the children which unfortunately changes the structure of this
function.

The dev->parent->of_node is meant to point to node 'pmic: mc13892@0'.
And the intention here is not to iterate over the children, but to
start a search from a reasonable point rather than the top root node.

It is always better to attach the of_node at struct device
registration time instead of searching the tree in common code.  The
of_node should already be assigned by the time regulator_register() is
called.

That's the problem we have.  There is no 'struct dev' to attach of_node
for each regulator by the time regulator_register() is called, because
the 'struct dev' for each regulator is created inside
regulator_register() as wrapped by 'struct regulator_dev'.

The root of your problem seems to be that your pmic driver isn't
registering regulator devices from DT, and if it did, you wouldn't
need to do a search in dev->parent->of_node and instead the driver
would have the right dev->of_node populated.
