This is intentional because why do we need to save the pointer if we're
not using it and we know that we could get this pointer using OPP API?
This is exactly the same what I did for the CPUFreq driver [1] :)

The dev_pm_opp_put_regulators() handles the case where regulator is
missing by acting as dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table(), but the
dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() doesn't do it. Hence I don't think this is
an abuse, but the OPP API drawback.

Two reasons:

1. Voltage regulator is optional, but dev_pm_opp_set_regulators()
doesn't support optional regulators.

2. We need to balance the opp_table refcount in order to use OPP API
without polluting code with if(have_regulator), hence the
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() is needed for taking the opp_table reference
to have the same refcount as in the case of the dev_pm_opp_set_regulators().

I guess we could make dev_pm_opp_set_regulators(dev, count) to accept
regulators count=0 and then act as dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table(dev), will
it be acceptable?
