I'm glad to see that I was not the only one thinking that the regulator 
was not the right fmwk to do that :-)

Thanks for the pointer Florian.

I guess that series should be merged for 3.11? Based on the thread, it 
should to through arm-soc.

Roger,

It might be tricky to have dependency on that series, but if this is 
possible, you should try. Otherwise, just keep the existing one, adding 
that a new solution will be available soon as a disclaimer.

Regards,
Benoit
