IIRC, Linux just has regmap_i2c_init which does the correct thing for all
callers. While in barebox this doesn't work and I had to add a smbus specific
regmap_init. We can always consolidate this later though, so feel free to
add whatever you find missing, test it and send it out for upstream
inclusion. You have my Signed-off-by.

The right way with deep probe enabled is to just use regulator functions
normally and on first access, barebox will take care to probe the regulator
if not done yet. I am not sure if all this works as expected yet, but Sascha
already offered to help with that.
