OK, thanks. I see that I can get the core to do it if I set ->of_match
on the regulator_desc. I also see that there is some flexibility about
the placement of the constraints (desc->regulators_node is optional).

This chip has only one output which the datasheet calls Buck1, so I will
remove this call and set the desc.of_match field to get the driver to
support a node which looks like this:

regulator@68 {
compatible = "dlg,da9121";
reg = <0x68>;

buck1 {
regulator-min-microvolt = <675000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <825000>;
};
};
