Yes moving the dependencies is easier than backporting the code which
does not work any more. ;-) The problem here is that the regulator core
can not be backported, because it is always build into the kernel and
not as a module.

I am also think if it is worth backporting this stuff, I think it is
only used on embedded devices and there it is probably easier to just
patch the kernel with the driver updates you need, I am for dropping this.

Are there any users of the regulator drivers?
