What is the dependency on the TWL4030?  I see no references to it in the
code...

I do strongly prefer the idiom of just registering all the regulators
even if they're read only.

No, this is bad.  We *always* pay attention to the constraints the user
set even if they're nuts or won't work, the machine driver has the final
say on what is or isn't allowed on a given board.  The mode setting is
especially suspect as there's no mode support in the driver.
