Yaah, this is something new and I think Mark also wanted to do this 
cleanup on his comment. I did not understand it previously. Looks cool now.

However, I have requirement to configure PMIC with some inital setting 
based on init_data (parsed) before regulator registration happened. Once 
I move to this new mecahinsm, the inti_data parsing and regulator init 
happen in the same function. So I need to have one callback from 
regulator_register to driver.
Something below. This will do the pre configuration before 
regulator_register happena dn machine constraint sets.

I can not use the init_data->regulator_init() as I need to have the init 
data passed to the driver.

Created sample patch below.
