What we've tried to do with regulators is just have multiple helper
functions in the core rather than trying to merge their implementation,
the drivers pick the right one for their usage, and in cases where there
aren't many drivers doing the same thing we just have the driver either
copy the bits of the implementation they reuse or call the helper
function from within the implementation.
