Actually, I didn't submit any platform driver before. So I can't
attach the related patch on
platform driver. After 2.6.39, I'll upload patches on platform driver.

In this original design, regulator data is assigned in platform driver
separately with index.
If I missed to define regulator[0] in platform data, the regulator
driver will meet failure
because of checking in max8925-core.c. The regulator[0] always means Buck0.

So I want to avoid to use the index and check regulator[] one by one.
I use a pointer to link
all regulator data together. I just need to check whether the
regulator pointer is valid or not.

The name isn't used by others. So I change it to SDx in order to
compare regulator name.
