"Certain peripherals"?  Don't you mean "certain controllers"?

Does this mean some controllers don't need to use the VDD regulators?

What if this is one of the controllers that don't need to use a VDD 
regulator?  Do you really want to print out a warning in that case?  
Should you call devm_regulator_get_optional() instead?
