I'm pretty sure that as soon as we have viable device tree support for
relevant platforms in mainline we'll have regulator support, though I'm
not sure that this will help too much with the naming as you'll still
have to figure out what the consumer requests.  We shouldn't be passing
in the consumer supply names from device tree (at least not a board
specific one) as this breaks the model that the supply names correspond
to the chip pins.
