If I dont do this then it will not enter in the following case for 
getting the regulator_dev of supply regulator because dev->of_node is 
null, the tps65910-regulator driver have not set the pdev->dev.ofnode.

static struct regulator_dev *regulator_dev_lookup(struct device *dev,
                                                   const char *supply,
                                                   int *ret)
{
         /* first do a dt based lookup */
         if (dev && dev->of_node) {
::::::::::::::::
             /* Get the regulator device */

     }
