It doesn't scan so much as have a list of subdev's it tries to register.
The charger node uses the of_compatible string defined (in the tps65090
driver and the charger driver) to match the subnode to the mfd_cell
device for the charger. The regulators are currently under a different
subdevice which is not using the of_compatible string. I was planning on
a follow up patch series to update the tps65090-regulator driver to use
the dt type approach with a subnode to be consistent.
