The variable that's being used inside this block is reg_idata.
Admittedly the value of that variable is tps6586x_matches[i].init_data,
but I think it'd be much cleaner if the if statement checked reg_idata
directly; that way, someone reading the code wouldn't have to look above
to find out that reg_idata and tps6586x_matches[i].init_data are related.

In the MAX8907 patch this attempts to duplicate; if there is no init
data where the user gives an explicit name, the name from the descriptor
is used:

if (idata && idata->constraints.name)
    mbatt_rail_name = idata->constraints.name;
else
    mbatt_rail_name = pmic->desc[i].name;

Shouldn't that same algorithm be used here?

Sorry, I don't immediately see why that's related?
