Uh, I need to double check but this shouldn't cause build break as only
the name of the struct is changed - and I intended to change it both in
regulator header and in all of the drivers using it at same time. Or
did I do some brainfart here?

I just wanted to minimize the changes in patch with the widest
audience.

Oh, after rebasing to linux  5.6-rc2 I see that there are few new users
of regulator_linear_range (I should have known that...) - natuarlly all
of the users need to be covered before applying this.
