It should be fine to start with no init data - just let the regulator
core worry about it.  This will allow users to read back the state even
if they can't change anything which is useful for system bringup or
general debugging.


of_get_regulator_init_data() will only have an error if it cannot alloc
the regulator_init_data struct.  That's why I did -ENOMEM.  If there
is no platform data and nothing about the regulator in the device tree, we
should end up with a zeroed out regulator_init_data.

Yes, but if OF is not defined it will return NULL as well. Unless I am
missing something, that means that the code will now fail if there is
no platform init data and OF is not configured.
