Makes sense. There will probably be quite a few IIO drivers over the next few months doing much the same as sht15, where the voltage ref for devices may well be fed by a regulator. In that case, we may only offer the option of using an external v_ref if the regulator is available. Many devices have an internal regulator to provide it so typically we'll start them up using that and provide an interface to switch to external regulator if one is available. I haven't thought through exactly how this will work as yet. I'll cc people in
when this comes up.

TBH this seems like a very vanilla use case - there may be some small advantage to representing the internal regulator via the regulator API but that's about the only thing I can think might be a bit odd.
