Again, this looks like you need to add regulator support to the camera
driver.

No, don't think so. This is a generic camera sensor, that can be attached 
to any video-capable SoC or built into a USB webcam. It knows nothing 
about where it's getting its power from.

With the regulator API it doesn't need to - that's all done externally by the machine layer. At the very least the regulator stuff should be going somewhere in the core driver where a machine only needs an assignment statement to use it since the code is going to be identical for all machines with regulators supplying the camera.
