regulator: core: let dt properties override driver init_data

This reverts commit cd7a38c40b231350a3cd0fd774f4e6bb68c4b411.

When submitting the change above, it was thought that the origin of the
init_data should be a clear choice, from the driver or from DT but not
both.

It turns out some devices, such as qcom-msm8974-lge-nexus5-hammerhead,
relied on the old behaviour to override the init_data provided by the
driver, making it some kind of default if none is provided by the platform.

Using the init_data provided by the driver when it is present broke these
devices so revert the change to fixup the situation and add a comment
to make things a bit more clear
