i2c host comes out, probes the regulator driver, regulator driver
probes and then the regulator_get() call returns.

This requires instrumentation on anything providing a resource
to another driver like those I mentioned and a lot of overhead
infrastructure, but I think it's the right approach. However I don't
know if I would ever be able to pull that off myself, I know talk
is cheap and I should show the code instead.

You would end up with the same problem of deadlocks as currently, and you
would still need something ugly like the defered probe brutforce to avoid
them.

Sorry I don't get that. Care to elaborate on why?
