Feel free to send patches for the documentation, bearing in mind that

in the config takes precedence over the one in config->dev, the
opposite is true for regulators, this is very confusing and should be
standardized.

No, they both do the same thing.

I don't see that, config->dev->of_node is checked for the init data in
regulator_of_get_init_data, then config->of_node is then ignored if that
succeeds.

Right, like I say this is because nobody should ever actually be using
that capability if they also have good bindings.  If anyone did have a
sensible use case that'd be where it would go but as things stand they
will be pushed to do the right thing.
