I agree with the sentiment and of course the rationale of the change,
but not necessarily with the implementation ;-) .

Why is this done as a regulator?

If you want the nextrst line to be high, you could just use a gpio-hog
for the line instead of doing a (fake?-)regulator.

For example the px30-ringneck.dtsi does something similar:

&gpio2 {        
        /*      
         * The Qseven BIOS_DISABLE signal on the PX30-µQ7 keeps the on-module
         * eMMC powered-down initially (in fact it keeps the reset signal
         * asserted). BIOS_DISABLE_OVERRIDE pin allows to re-enable eMMC after
         * the SPL has been booted from SD Card.
         */     
        bios-disable-override-hog {
                gpios = <RK_PB5 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
                output-high;
                line-name = "bios_disable_override";
                gpio-hog;
        };      
...
};


Thanks
