Adding something completely typesafe seems like a real loss - if you
want to point to something else at least point to a particular type -
eg, 

struct foo;

struct pdata {
	int other_stuff;
	struct foo *foo;
};

>  	struct regulator_init_data *regulator[AB8500_NUM_REGULATORS];
> +	void *regulator_data;

It'd also help if you could articulate the problem you see with the
current approach...
