Ok, After moving this mapping (ldo2-supply = <&ldo1_reg>;) to top level 
under tps65911,  then it worked without core driver changes.
Becasue at this time, the ldo2->desc->supply_name = "ldo2" get find on 
the chip level node and then it return the regulator node properly.

Yes, I need to add the code in tps65911-regulator.c to use the proper 
pin name as per datasheet for looking for input supply. Like "vcc3" is 
the pin name for ldo6,ldo7 and ldo8 supply and hence look for 
"vcc3-supply" in the chip level rather than "ldo6-supply" or 
"ldo7-supply" etc.
I will post the patch for these changes.
