Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: sgtl5000: only check VDDD-supply, not revision

Instead of checking the SGTL5000 chip revision, we should only check if
the VDDD regulator exists and only call sgtl5000_replace_vddd_with_ldo
if the regulator is missing.
Otherwise, the user reads in the kernel log that the internal LDO is
used, even though he did follow the NXP recommendation to use external
VDDD and also specified VDDD-supply in the devicetree.

Also remove the comment, which incorrectly states that external VDDD is
only supported for SGTL5000 chip revisions < 0x11.
Official NXP documentation recommends using external VDDD and not the
internal LDO due to the SGTL5000 erratum ER1. This also applies to
revisions >= 0x11.

Tested on an i.MX6Q board with SGTL5000 rev 0x11 and external VDDD.
