I added it since there is regulator node in device tree. With the help of devm_regulator_register(..), driver takes parameters of regulator node. I also used id to select and to initialize regulator descriptors which are chip specific. So far there is no comment about OF ID table so I kept it. I thought I need to add both of id table and platform id table as name matching is required to initialize platform device from mfd.
