So, I just looked at that driver - it errors out on probe without the
regualtor.  Are you sure the fix isn't to add a dependency on the
regulator API or convert it back to using normal regulator gets (it was
converted without comment as part of a DT conversion), or indeed to
using the bulk regulator API.  It looks awfully like the driver is just
open coding devm_regulator_bulk_get() and friends.

There is no explanation at all in either the changelog or the code for
why the driver is asking for exclusive regulators.
