No, the above code is how the regulator API should be used.  The API
will stub itself out if not in use so unless the s3c24xx platforms are
using regulators and there's a couple of options in the regulator API
for handling partially defined hookups of regulators on the board.

If there isn't a separate supply for the regulators on S3C24xx devices
then I guess the best option is to provide that supply as a dummy
regulator in the s3c24xx core code.
