Exactly what I have been advocating.

And there is bunch of other places where such examples can be seen.
For example multiple regulator support in the OPP framework, which I
added an year ago hasn't seen a user yet. And I am pushing the TI guys
(who wanted it badly) to upstream their code before we remove that as
well :)

Again, someone has to come up and take responsibility of getting
static power platform support upstream in a definite amount of time.
