For the 1st four, make the simple ops static inline, instead of
polluting the namespace with trivial exports. For the last one,
add an EXPORT_SYMBOL.

[ alternately, make REGULATOR_RC5T583 bool instead of tristate? ]

Why not export all require symbol from mfd core.
I am sending the patch to exporting all required apis. Please review.
