Moving this to be a regulator driver is part of the medium-term plan,
and is already under development. For this phase, we just split up the
current driver into device and driver code and left under mach-omap2.
We are investigating (and making) changes to the regulator core so that
SmartReflex can be converted into a real regulator driver, but that is
still under development.

So, in the mean time, I'd like to merge this version so that other
development that depends on this (the regulator work mentioned above,
the DVFS work, etc.) can have a stable starting point.
