BTW, I resolved this in different way in V4 which I sent today, if 
regulator_get() succeed for dummy then regulator_get_voltage() failed 
and if it failed then assume that it is dummy and just ignore the 
further handling based on regulator.

So when we really need the configuration based on voltage, we must 
supply the regulator handle.
