Thats what we did for OMAP, and hence we always have the of_node
populated when the regulator devices are probed.
See this patch from Benoit on how thats done for twl devices..

OMAP is "Case 1", and we are talking about "Case 2".
I don't see why it wouldn't work for "Case 2".
I did not say it wouldn't work for "Case 2". I meant they work in
different way.
The only difference
is in case of "Case 1", the dev->of_node would already point to
the right regulator node, like 'reg1', 'reg2' above.
In case of "Case 2", the dev->of_node would point to the 'regulators'
node instead, and the driver could then do a for_each_child_of_node()
to iterate over all its children to get 'reg1', 'reg2' etc.
Yes, that's the difference. So you will need to distinguish these
two cases in regulator_register()? How?
You don't need to distinguish these cases in regulator_register().
The driver knows if its handling "Case 1" devices or "Case 2" devices
and it needs to handle things accordingly and pass the right of_node
which regulator_register() can then attach to regulator_dev->dev.
