Yes, as discussed on IRC with Kevin, I think that some of this voltage layer mechanisms would benefit from using the existing kernel regulator framework. The regulator framework already keeps tracks of consumers (in your patch set called "vdd users"), and for each consumer, keeps track of the requested voltage. The maximum requested voltage is then applied to the regulator. It seems to fit quite well some of the mechanisms you're introducing in this patch set.
