We can't do this - current doesn't map 1:1 through a regulator, the
power consumption will map through but obviously there's a voltage
change involved and the regulators will not be 100% efficient so there
will also be some overhead from the chipld regulator. The child
regulator needs to do the mapping in a regulator specific fashion.
