Fwiw, the regulator-parent relationship is established by the platform
code after the regulator driver has registered all the regulator
devices. I assume we can just device_move() to re-parent.

It may also be nice to have a link like /sys/power/regulator
-> /sys/devices/.../regulator

Agreed, this is just driver_data for the regulator driver.
