I have to admit, it's a bit shocking that VOLTAGE REGULATORS have to be
exposed to the software in the first place.

I guess that's modern-day hardware design for you.

The diff below adds a simple "regulator" API, Regulators are devices
that apply voltage and/or current to subsystems to power them on.
Examples are applying voltage to an SD card, powering a USB bus,
turning on an Ethernet PHY, scaling the CPU voltage. Regulators come
in many flavours. The simple
