Not just buck2/3, buck2/3/4/ldo/exten all need the dynamic handling.

Sorry. Let me explain it.
You mean 'of_parse_cb' must not override constraint.
But if the regulator is fixed and dynamic, after
'of_get_regulation_constraint', apply_uV will be true.
The is referring to 'fixed.c'

If I put 'of_parce_cb' to make core handling it, the input parameter
'init_data' is declared as const.
I cannot override the 'apply_uV'.
Right?
