Ok. I will add it.

Ok.

I will remove it.

Yeah. The probe will be called for every regulator separately.

Ok. I will add a space after '{' and before '}'. Sorry I did not
follow tps65218_id_table being different than of_tps65218_match_table.

One is of the type of_device_id and the other i2c_device_id.
