Is the regulator bit of this perhaps a voltage regulator and a current
regulator packaged together mainly for use powering LEDs?  That's a
hardware design I've seen before...

Just point the regulator framework at the MFD's DT node - the children
of the MFD can look at the parent device happily, there's several
existing MFDs do this.
