As mentioned at commit message, the lcd regulator is optional part and
refer the mmc codes
        host->vmmc = regulator_get(mmc_dev(mmc), "vmmc");
        if (IS_ERR(host->vmmc)) {
                pr_info("%s: no vmmc regulator found\n", mmc_hostname(mmc));
                host->vmmc = NULL;
        } else {
                regulator_enable(host->vmmc);

Previous time, these codes are located at board file, but more boards
are used, it has same codes for all boards. so move it to drivers.
In the case of MMC the MMC guys told us that this supply was entirely
optional for MMC operation, it wasn't an essential supply for the MMC
device to run it just enabled more features.  For supplies like that
it's OK for the regulator to fail, the driver should just not do
whatever things are enabled by having that supply.
