[PATCH] regulator: ab8500-ext: Don't register without initialisation data

This patch fixes a bug introduced in the v3.10 merge window.

Some platforms will not want external registers. Rather than setting up
lots of different clauses in the core ab8500 regulator driver not to
call ab8500-ext init() we just won't pass the initialisation data from
platform code. This patch checks for it and if it's missing, we won't
register the external regulators.
