I am seriously confused on how to fetch the struct device * in my consumer driver, for an already registered regulator. I am planning to use this consumer driver as a part of my CPU freq/CPU idle framework but I don't know what to pass in regulator_get.
Should I register my regulator device as a platform_device as against an i2c_client device what I am having now? Other regulator drivers (drivers/regulator/twl4030-regulator.c, wm8400.c etc) are doing the same thing in their code. Using the current approach, I am facing difficulty in getting the struct device * for invoking the regulator_get()? Otherwise, can I expose one function in my regulator driver which will return the appropriate struct device * when user calls it with a supply name string? This device pointer then will be used in my consumer driver while calling the regulator_get API?
