There's another problem with this of_parse_cb design. The regulator
framework requires supplies to be registered before consumers of the
supplies are registered. So when we register L23 we need to make sure
it's supply is already registered (S8 for example). If we used
of_regulator_match() we could sort the array by hand so that we always
register the supplies first. Or we could modify the regulator framework
to have a concept of "orphaned" supplies like the clock framework has so
that when a regulator is registered it waits until its supply is registered.
