Few ROHM PMICs allow setting the voltage states for different
system states
like RUN, IDLE, SUSPEND and LPSR. States are then changed via SoC
specific
mechanisms. bd718x7 driver implemented device-tree parsing
functions for
these state specific voltages. The parsing functions can be re-used 
by
other ROHM chip drivers like bd71828. Split the generic functions
from
bd718x7-regulator.c to rohm-regulator.c and export them for other
modules
to use.

Does these really need to live in the parent's header file?
I don't know what would be a better place?
You don't have a regulator header file?

It seems over-kill to create one for this, so leave it as is.

What other call-sites are there?
After this series the bd718x7-regulator.c and bd71828-regulator.c are
the in-tree drivers using these. rohm-regulator.c is implementing them.
And I hope we see yet another driver landing in later this year. 

Anyways, I will investigate if I can switch this to some common (not
rohm specific) DT bindings at some point (I've scheduled this study to
March) - If I can then they should live in regulator core headers.

But changing the existing properties should again be own set of patches
and I'd prefer doing that work independently of this series and not
delaying the BD71828 due to not-yet-evaluated bd718x7 property changes.
That's fine.
