Fair enough, I removed the offending part, updated patch below.

regulator: wm8400 - cleanup platform driver data handling
Driver data set by platform_set_drvdata() is for private use of
the driver currently bound to teh device and not for use by parent,
subsystem and anyone else.

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

Regulators need to be available early in init in order to allow them
to be available for consumers when requested. This is generally done
by registering them at subsys_initcall() time but not all regulator
drivers have done that. Convert these drivers to do so in order to
mimimise future support.

Rather than having the regulator init data read from the platform_data
member of the struct device that is registered for the regulator make
the init data an explict argument passed in when registering. This
allows drivers to use the platform data for their own purposes if they
wish.

A pointer to wm8400_regulator_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.
An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

The WM8400 provides two programmable DCDC step-down (buck) convertors
and four low-dropout (LDO) regulators. This driver provides support for
runtime managment of these in the standard regulator API.
Support for configuration of the suspend and hibernate mode behaviour
of the regulators is not yet included.
