The regulator subsystem is quite happily using unsigned ints here,
usually we're using hungarian style names to clarify the type where
that's useful (it tends to be closer to the usual naming conventions
when representing these things mathematically).  I'm not sure that
having a typedef is going to buy us terribly much unless we convert the
kernel to C++ where we can do more exciting stuff.

I would say that we are using microvolts rather than milivolts since it
does occasionally matter.
