After diving deeper, it not longer appears to be a good idea:
- pulls in a non-obvious requirement for CONFIG_REGULATOR on platforms
that otherwise do not need it
- requires complex life-cycle management so that the fixed regulator is
instantiated on the first device creation and removed with the last
one
We better go with the static value assignment.
I'll move that regulator_get_voltage into the probing function which
will simplify things further (va_millivolt will carry the value for both
cases).
