Why? You do not have checks for calls to pwm_enable() and pwm_disable(),
(or rather beeper->period is used as such flag) why regulator would be
any different?

It greatly simplifies control flow in the driver (since I believe you
can get rid of the flags you introduced).
As far as arch not having full constraints - I am not sure if this makes
sense anymore. I am not quite sure what the original intent here was, we
should probably ask Mark Brown. But a lot of drivers do expect the dummy
substitution to imply work.
Thanks.
