Subject: [PATCH 4.18 146/228] regulator: fix crash caused by null driver data

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@...gle.com>

commit fb6de923ca3358a91525552b4907d4cb38730bdd upstream.

dev_set_drvdata() needs to be called before device_register()
exposes device to userspace. Otherwise kernel crashes after it
gets null pointer from dev_get_drvdata() when userspace tries
to access sysfs entries.

[Removed backtrace for length -- broonie]
