I'm not sure if that'll work. There's this oddity in the Harmony DTS
where the regulator at 3 is disabled with a comment that this is a hack
required until board-harmony-pcie.c is removed. If we change the DTS
before the driver rewrite I think that would break requesting the GPIO
in the board file.

A possible workaround I can think of is accessing the regulator from
board-harmony-pcie.c instead of the GPIO directly. But perhaps such an
attempt already failed (deferred probing getting in the way?).

Since it looks like this series will not make it into 3.10, maybe we
should try and at least get these things ironed out so that the merge
can be done more easily in 3.11. One big step in that direction would
obviously be if we could get the DTS changes merged already which, as
you point out, should be independent of the driver rewrite itself.
