I just got to this same point last night as I needed this working to
test omap_hsmmc with edma dmaengine...

The problem is that the tps65217-regulator driver is handing the wrong
device to regulator_register() and it contains a null regmap. This patch
passes in the the parent dev to fix it. Maybe I missed another patch
that addresses this in a different way, such as the regulator devices
being stuffed with the regmap devres?

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: tps65217: fix crash during registration

The struct device for each platform device bound to this
driver is a child to the parent mfd device. The parent device
is the one that actually contains the regmap devres so fix the
null pointer dereference during the first regmap access in
registration by passing in the parent device.
