I already changed that code to use regulator_get_optional() for v2.

Regarding the enumerating supported voltage.. I think this should be
done by the OPP core, but regulator core doesn't work well if
regulator_get() is invoked more than one time for the same device, at
least there is a loud debugfs warning about an already existing
directory for a regulator. It's easy to check whether the debug
directory exists before creating it, like thermal framework does it for
example, but then there were some other more difficult issues.. I don't
recall what they were right now. Perhaps will be easier to simply get a
error from regulator_set_voltage() for now because it shouldn't ever
happen in practice, unless device-tree has wrong constraints.
