As previously and repeatedly reported the regulator usage in this driver
appears extremely problematic, among these problems is that it almost
certainly has no sensible reason to be using regulator_get_exclusive()
or any variant of it.  Sadly every time it's been raised with the video
people they've completely ignored the mail so here we are.

Right now not having the stub seems to only be affecting buggy users
(which given the use cases for _exclusive() isn't *that* surprising) so
I'm more inclined to leave this there in the hope that the users get
fixed or we can at least get some sort of dialogue with the relevant
maintainers.
