*Potentially*.  I'd need to see the code, it doesn't fill me with great
joy and there are disadvantages in terms of input validation but that
does address the main issue and perhaps the implementation would be
nicer than I'm immediately imagining.

You should be able to mix the use of board file regulator descriptions
with other descriptions for other bits of the hardware.
