Unfortunately this fix causes other issues as now the i2c_client
is 2 layers down rather than one requiring quite a few changes
to   
 struct device *da9034_dev = rdev_get_dev(rdev)->parent->parent;
from
    struct device *da9034_dev = rdev_get_dev(rdev)->parent;

So either a change to the regulator framework is needed to
allow mfd's or these extra ->parent lines need to go in in lots
of places.

Which do people prefer?
