Laxman,

I got the dt parsing with new method from regulator framework part, But
by new method do you also want to remove the dt compatible of regulators 
and let only the mfd compatible stay?

replace of_platform_populate with mfd_add_devices so that linux handles 
the drivers split up and not the device tree?
