Ok, sorry i had mixed feelings on how to post all of it.
 there are several dependencies on the series and i  kept
all together to give the context. Do you  want me to repost the regulator
changes seperatly? I can do that, but if you  don't agree with regulator
handling overcurrent, i will have to move the over current
gpio into the driver, and there is no point on re-posting that seperatly.

Regards
Axel
