Subject: [PATCH] regulator: do not ignore provided init_data

On DT platforms, if a regulator init_data is provided in config, it is
silently ignored in favor of the DT parsing done by the framework.

If the regulator provider passed init_data it must be because it is useful
somehow. If the driver expects the framework to initialize this data on its
own, it should leave init_data clear.

Adjust the regulator registration accordingly.

Note that it is probably not problem at the moment since no one complained
about ignored data.
