A quick grep showed otherwise though ...

In arch/arm/mach-omap2/
Total regulators defined                          =  71
Regulators with exactly 1 supply           =   58
Single element non-array definitions     =  46/58
Single element array definitions             =  12/58

Even if we consider 20% to be norm for consistency, I am not sure it's
a good one.

Still many samsung guys piously enclose magic value defines in parenthesis,
just to maintain 'consistency' !

And, I don't understand how does diff become any easier beyond 2
elements in the array.

Sorry for being bitchy, but I am unable to buy any reason other than
having more than
one element to use array.
