Looking at the usage here it looks like most of this stuff shouldn't be
there even with non-DT stuff, we probably don't want to add DT bindings
for those bits.All the voltage setting is not at all device specific
and can be done using the generic regulator bindings, the forcing on or
off is similarly generic.

All the generic properties _are_ set using the generic bindings. The
only vendor specific values are the initialisation register values
referenced above. I'll see what happens when I remove those from DT.
I have a feeling that the regulators will just fail though.
The comments in the arch/arm file indicate otherwise - they were talking
about enabling and disabling regulators, and about setting voltages.  It
may be that the comments in the arch/arm code are inaccurate but with it
being magic numbers you'd really hope they're accurate...
Fingers crossed. I'll let you know how I get on.

While looking for the original patch I also noticed that you're not CCing
the mailing list either...  please always CC the subsystem mailing list
on patches.

You don't appear to have one. I ran get_maintainer.pl on the patch
and the only ML it came up with was LKML. If you do have one, you
may need to update the MAINTAINERS file.
LKML is the relevant list here.
Ah, okay. In retrospect I don't know why I didn't add it to be honest. 
I'll endeavor to do so next time.

Kind regards,
Lee
