Would you be interested in implementing this?

Ancient downstream defines a second device (vregname_ao) and basically
seems to select QCOM_SMD_(ACTIVE/SLEEP)_STATE based on that..

Looks like `struct regulator` stores voltage in an array that wouldn't
you know it, depends on the PM state. Perhaps that could be something
to explore!
