No it doesnt!
In this case, if device is registered through DT then just ignore
platform data population and continue the further registration.

At this point we exit the function and do nothing with the platform data
which should work on wholy DT systems. I have tested it!


I think then dt files are different in this case. I did not saw the documentation of dt file.
But following is my entry in dts file which we follow for other devices:

i2c@7000d000 {
status = "okay";
clock-frequency = <100000>;

::::::::::::::
tps65913@58 {
compatible = "ti,palmas";
reg = <0x58>;
interrupts = <0 86 0x4>;

#interrupt-cells = <2>;
interrupt-controller;

#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-controller;

regulators {
smps12 {
regulator-name = "palmas-smps12";
regulator-min-microvolt = <1350000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1350000>;
regulator-always-on;
regulator-boot-on;
};

smps3 {
regulator-name = "palmas-smps3";
regulator-min-microvolt = <1800000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;
regulator-always-on;
regulator-boot-on;
};
:::::::::::::::
};
};
};


In the above DT file, it does not work.
