Subject: [PATCH 6/6] regulator: core: Add external-consumer driver

An external consumer is a dummy device representing a device external
to the system that is supplied by a regulator designated for external
output.  It is purely a virtual placeholder to instantiate a regulator
by calling regulator_get() on it from its probe function.
