If I make the dts file as
                         #gpio-cells = <2>;
                         gpio-controller;

                        palmas_pmic {
                                compatible = "ti,palmas-pmic";
                                ti,ldo6_vibrator = <0>;

                                regulators {
                                     :::::::::::::
                                 }
                         }


then regulator get registered properly.
And hence this patch is not require here.
