You've done way more than this in the patch - you've also renamed a lot
of things and done other restructurings.  I'd suggest splitting out the
big mechanical changes for easier review.  For example, a patch moving
code from one place to another, another patch renaming things and so on.

This doesn't need to be user visible - the user only cares about the
individual regulator drivers.

I can't tell what the actual change is here?

Eh?

Is there really going to be a platform device for this?

Pretty much everything in this file is internal to the driver and
shouldn't be in include/linux.
