I've intentionally didn't add any new properties nor bindings, because I 
assume that the generic regulator coupling bindings fully describe what 
is needed for Exynos5800 SoCs. This driver 'fixes' only the issue (or 
lets it call undefined behavior) in the regulator core, which is fatal 
for Exynos5800.

Please note that this "attach" callback is called only for the 
regulators, which are marked as coupled, so for all existing board it 
might be even enough to simply return 0 without any check. IMHO for all 
existing Exynos5422/5800 the name-based check is enough. I can change it 
to a check for particular DT path peculiar for Exynos5422/5800 (the 
check if the given regulator mathes the phandle specificied in the 
exynos-bus node for "wcore" or A15's CPU).
