No, it's only *currently* used for that.  If we don't bother passing the
descriptor in then future additions which make use of it (including
adding mode operations to existing drivers) won't work and it might not
be obvious why.

You're already going through and modifying every single driver and all
of those I looked at already had references to the descriptor in
adjacent code or a global descriptor for the one regulator supported by
the driver.
