Not really.  The idea is that  only when a host controller driver does this

static struct pci_ops my_pcie_ops = {
    .add_bus = pci_subdev_regulators_add_bus , /* see  note below */
    .remove_bus = pci_subdev_regulators_remove_bus,
    ...
}

does it explicitly want this feature.  Without doing this, every PCI
port in the world will execute a devm_kzalloc() and
devm_regulator_bulk_get() to (likely) grab nothing, and then there
will be three superfluous lines in the boot log:

pci_bus 0001:01: 0001:01 supply vpcie12v not found, using dummy regulator
pci_bus 0001:01: 0001:01 supply vpcie3v3 not found, using dummy regulator
pci_bus 0001:01: 0001:01 supply vpcie3v3aux not found, using dummy regulator

Secondly, our  HW needs to know when the  alloc/get/enable of
regulators is done so that the PCIe link can then be attempted.   This
is pretty much the cornerstone of this patchset.   To do this the brcm
RC driver's call to pci_subdev_regulators_add_bus() is wrapped by
brcm_pcie_add_bus() so that we can do this:

static struct pci_ops my_pcie_ops = {
    .add_bus = brcm_pcie_add_bus ,   /* calls pci_subdev_regulators_add_bus() */
    .remove_bus = pci_subdev_regulators_remove_bus,
    ...
}
