Agree. Currently following regulators are using this (based on grep)
mfd/tps6586x.c
regulator/ab8500.c
regulator/db8500-prcmu.c
and regulator/tps65910.

If the related change in tps65910 is fine and there is no more 
concern/feedback on the approach then I can create a series of patch to 
modify the other regulator and related dts file to follow the same.

If you want, I can make the new changes as part of this series or can 
start with new series.

I like to go with new series patch for other change once this is accepted.
