* Russell King - ARM Linux [off-list ref] [120208 08:05]:
When a PMIC is not found, this driver is unable to obtain its
'vdds_dsi_reg' regulator.  Even through its initialization function
fails, other code still calls its enable function, which fails to
check whether it has this regulator before asking for it to be enabled.

This fixes the oops, however a better fix would be to sort out the
upper layers to prevent them calling into a module which failed to
initialize.

Tomi can look into fixing this properly for v3.4:
