This isn't a patch to the regulator driver, this is a patch to the MFD.
Normally this would be fixed by making the MFD driver not depend on the
regulator API - why is the MFD driver using the regulator API?

Regulators platform data is added to platform device in MFD driver, which we
need for regulator driver, of_regulator_match() is used to check the regulator
consumers if we pass DT data. If we do not enable CONFIG_REGULATOR then
of_regulator_match() is not exported, so we see this error.

Why are you doing that in the MFD driver?

I got your point, I referred tps6586x driver while developing the initial driver.
Based on tps6586x MFD driver I added REGULATOR flag. I think tps6586x MFD driver
need to be cleaned up.

I will submit a patch to make tps65217 MFD driver independent of REGULATOR
framework.

Thanks
