That over-writes pmic_plat_data even if it was already set above. This
should really only happen if the earlier assignment didn't find any
pdata, i.e. if (!pmic_plat_data) here.
Looking at patch 2/2, the structure in that driver is correct, and
perhaps could be implemented the same or similarly here?

Or just swap those assignments:
of_pmic_plat_data = tps65910_parse_dt(...);
if (!pmic_plat_data)
pmic_plat_data = of_pmic_plat_data;
(although there's perhaps little point parsing the pdata from DT if it's
already provided through the device object)
