I havn't received feedback yet for this patch.

I'd like to start updating the regulator driver, but only when I now my
updates here are considered sensible.

As this is a rewrite, reading the patch might not be that easy.  So if
you only want to see the new version, you can find it at

	http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=ukl/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/mfd/mc13783-core.c;h=63a5104bf2ea83be817587f83a53beaabd418a6b;hb=e49c74fa5001b54632b704deb837e98bc5b307c0

Best regards
Uwe
