Perhaps you should add a note that only the regulator component is
currently supported.

Instead of calling it an MFD driver (is there such a thing?) I think
you should mention its true purpose, as per the datasheet.

I think the end comment is superfluous.

However, if you _really_ want to put something in there, I dislike
"/* Sentinel */" the least.

What are you trying to do here?

Register each regulator as a platform device?

This has a different structure to of_tps65218_match_table, please
ensure they're the same. I prefer spaces after '{' and before '}'.
