With a changelog like this I'd expect a small change to an error check
in the startup code or something but this is a very big change to the
driver initialisation.

That looks really suspicious, what happens if there's two of these
devices in the system?

It's really unclear why the array is needed at all if you're registering
the devices one at a time.

Surely the only change that's needed here is to remove the check to see
if pdata->regulator[0] is non-null?
