So, the reason that this pattern has generally been followed is so that
the regulator core can do the equivalent of regulator_get(dev, supply)
to find the supplies.  Using the parent device there is particularly
important in non-DT systems so that we can map the child regulator
supply in by using the dev_name() of the parent rather than the MFD
internal subdevice name but for pure DT systems where it's all just
direct links it's less of an issue.
