I did look at the cover letter and glance at the first couple of patches
but I still can't tell what this is really intended to do.  There's a
lot of implementation detail but not a lot of high level overview so
it's not very clear to me how exactly this solves problems or how it is
different to the component framework, it sounds very similar.

I'd expect someone reading the change in the regulator API to have at
least some idea how this fits in with the rest of the API and how to use
it, and probably more importantly I'd expect to be able to understand
why this is DT only.
