Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| | Oh, the latter part of the comment seems a bit scary. Oh, what do we do
| | about the regulator API ? Isn't it simple to provide one ? I was reading
| | through the 'Linear Regulator' part of the user manual.
|
| pcf50633 is not the least delicate part of our stuff.  Retrofitting new
| APIs like regulator in there and other places that touch it without

To be more clear, I am talking about this

http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=tree;f=Documentation/power/regulator;h=f555b7155b60619fbe936e7654a79e5f5b321bdf;hb=HEAD

it wasn't around when pcf50633 driver was done, but upstream may want to
insist on its use for "new" drivers being introduced.
