Subject: [PATCH] regulator: da9063: fix null pointer deref with partial DT config

When some of the da9063 regulators do not have corresponding DT nodes
a null pointer dereference occurs on boot:

This is because such regulators have no init_data causing the pointers
calculated in da9063_check_xvp_constraints() to be invalid.

Do not dereference them in this case.
