This is a harmless warning (ideally, we should remove the pr_warning).
the intent here is to have hook for pmic_init which could be
populated for custom PMICs which may need "something additional" for
Smart reflex enablement. if you look at the sr_pmic_data - it just has
a single api for pmic_init
e.g. in the case of TWL4030/5030, we might need to set the bit to
switch mode from I2C1 to I2C_SR - e.g. the patch from Shweta[1]
if Smartreflex AVS was the *only* mechanism in the system, we could
have hooked pmic_init to this bit setting. but since the system can do
voltage scaling (VP forceupdate/vc bypass) independent of SR AVS
block, the patch in [1] does initialization independent of
sr_pmic_data->pmic_init which makes sense.
in short, my 2cents: the warning is probably something we should
remove from the code.
