In fact - after finishing v2 of this patch which I will post shortly -
it turns out that keeping PMIC and regulator strictly separated greatly
simplifies the code.
Even if power supplies are modeled as PMIC properties in the DT their
sole purpose is to define the supply for one or multiple regulators.
Storing them within the PMIC driver hence makes no sense. The PMIC
driver of v2 patch therefore doesn't even need a ofdata_to_platdata()
function.

many thanks, Felix
