Oh, the struct here? Hmm. You might be correct. I can add some.

I don't know what would be a better place?

After this series the bd718x7-regulator.c and bd71828-regulator.c are
the in-tree drivers using these. rohm-regulator.c is implementing them.
And I hope we see yet another driver landing in later this year. 

Anyways, I will investigate if I can switch this to some common (not
rohm specific) DT bindings at some point (I've scheduled this study to
March) - If I can then they should live in regulator core headers.

But changing the existing properties should again be own set of patches
and I'd prefer doing that work independently of this series and not
delaying the BD71828 due to not-yet-evaluated bd718x7 property changes.

Thanks, I'll remove it.
