Don't manually parse the DT, use the core support and set of_match and
regulators_node in the regulator_desc.

The driver should never modify the constraints that are passed in - the
whole point with constraints is to allow the system to set up what is
safe on that particular system.

This should not be an error, the driver should just instantiate all
regulators the device has and at least let people read back the current
state.
