That's not going to have the desired effect in cases where DT is built
into the kernel but not in use on the current system (which is a
configuration that gets used) and will remove error handling for non-DT
systems that do have regulators set up. There's not the relationship
between this and DT that you seem think there is...

Besides, if we're going to do a bodge like that we should do it in the
core and not in individual callers.
