Why EXPERIMENTAL?

Not sure I'm enthusiastic about that - it's sensible for the machine to
want that but I can see this getting out of hand if you've got a lot of
machines doing that.  Perhaps have the machine select the regulator for
builds with REGULATOR enabled?

I'm not sure this is what we want.  If the device is driving the
backlight it'll result in the backlight flashing off during boot which
doesn't seem desirable.  The standard thing is just to inherit the
hardware state.
