Okay. I will remove these.

Yeah, we are setting the default values for this(headroom_uv) from 
driver. Please see below

struct regulator_data {
      char        *name;
      char        *supply_name;
      int     min_uv;
      int     max_uv;
      int     min_dropout_uv;
};

static const struct regulator_data reg_data[PM8008_MAX_LDO] = {
      /* name  parent      min_uv  max_uv  headroom_uv */
     {"l1", "vdd_l1_l2",  528000, 1504000, 225000},
     {"l2", "vdd_l1_l2",  528000, 1504000, 225000},
     {"l3", "vdd_l3_l4", 1504000, 3400000, 200000},
     {"l4", "vdd_l3_l4", 1504000, 3400000, 200000},
     {"l5", "vdd_l5",    1504000, 3400000, 300000},
     {"l6", "vdd_l6",    1504000, 3400000, 300000},
     {"l7", "vdd_l7",    1504000, 3400000, 300000},
};

Inside Register LDO API:

pm8008_reg->rdesc.min_dropout_uV = reg_data[i].min_dropout_uv;
of_property_read_u32(reg_node, "qcom,min-dropout-voltage",
                   &pm8008_reg->rdesc.min_dropout_uV);
