Sorry again for not clearing the things.
Here is my connection:
There is two rail V1 and V2. V2 is supplied by V1. There is some devices 
on V1 and V2.
V1---->V2-----device-v2-1
      |------------------device-v1-1

Now I make the dts as:
v1_reg: v1@0 {
     regulator-name="v1";
   :::::::::::
};

v2_reg: v2@1 {
     regulator-name="v2";
     v2-supply=<&v1_reg>;
::::::::::::::
}


Now when registering the v1, I am setting init_data->input_supply = NULL 
and reg_desc->supply_name = NULL;
Config->of_node is the node for v1_reg;
dev->of_node is NULL as it is mfd sub device driver tps65910-pmic.

So registration went fine.

When registering the V2, I am setting init_data->input_supply = NULL and 
reg_desc->supply_name = v2.
config->of_node is node for v2_reg;
dev->of_node is NULL as it is mfd sub device driver tps65910-pmic.

At the time of registration,  as becasue there is valid 
reg_desc->supply_name and hence it tries to lookup the entry for 
<name>-supply i.e. v2-supply in this case for getting regulator_dev.
regulator_register() {
:::::::::::
       if (init_data && init_data->supply_regulator)
                 supply = init_data->supply_regulator;
         else if (regulator_desc->supply_name)
                 supply = regulator_desc->supply_name;

         if (supply) {
                 struct regulator_dev *r;

                 r = regulator_dev_lookup(dev, supply, &ret);
::::::::::::::::::::::::
}

static struct regulator_dev *regulator_dev_lookup(struct device *dev,
                                                   const char *supply,
                                                   int *ret)
{
         /* first do a dt based lookup */
----> Checked here, dev is not null but dev->of_node is null.
         if (dev && dev->of_node) {

------------>The issue is that I am not getting here as dev->node is 
null here.

                 node = of_get_regulator(dev, supply);
                 if (node) {

         }
