Well, if you don't base the OMAP changes that depend on it off the regulator changes then you'll break bisection as you'll have a bunch of commits which won't have all their dependencies present on a branch (since they're not present in the branch point and aren't otherwise merged in), if bisect goes down that branch it'll be miserable. That seems bad and while I've not run into it with OMAP in particular it's rather painful when it does happen. It's much better if the branch has the required changes merged into it prior to their being used.
