No, I saw that - looking at the code in hdmi_init() it's using normal
devm_regulator_get() correctly (it appears to be open coding
devm_regulator_bulk_get() and likewise for the enables and disables but
that's a lot less serious).  I can't see anything actively broken with
that code other than the error handling on failed enable.

It's a bug elsewhere, if you are getting a dummy regulator on a DT
system it means that you don't have a regulator set up for that supply
so the core is just assuming that it's always on.
