I think then dt files are different in this case. I did not saw the 
documentation of dt file.
But following is my entry in dts file which we follow for other devices:

         i2c@7000d000 {
                 status = "okay";
                 clock-frequency = <100000>;

   ::::::::::::::
                 tps65913@58 {
                         compatible = "ti,palmas";
                         reg = <0x58>;
                         interrupts = <0 86 0x4>;

                         #interrupt-cells = <2>;
                         interrupt-controller;

                         #gpio-cells = <2>;
                         gpio-controller;

                         regulators {
                                 smps12 {
                                         regulator-name = "palmas-smps12";
                                         regulator-min-microvolt =

                                         regulator-max-microvolt = 
<1350000>;
                                         regulator-always-on;
                                         regulator-boot-on;
                                 };

                                 smps3 {

                                         regulator-min-microvolt = 
<1800000>;
                                         regulator-max-microvolt = 
<1800000>;
                                         regulator-always-on;
                                         regulator-boot-on;
                                 };
:::::::::::::::
                     };
             };
     };


In the above DT file, it does not work.
