Moved, renamed, and deleted files
The original directory structure was scattered and unorganized.
Changes are basically to make it look like kernel structure.

This mapping can be achieved in machine +initialisation code by creating a struct regulator_consumer_supply for +each regulator. + +struct regulator_consumer_supply { + const char *dev_name; /* consumer dev_name() */ + const char *supply; /* consumer supply - e.g. "vcc" */ +}; + +e.g. for the machine above + +static struct regulator_consumer_supply regulator1_consumers[] = { +{ + .dev_name = "dev_name(consumer B)", + .supply = "Vcc", +},}; + +static struct regulator_consumer_supply regulator2_consumers[] = { +{ + .dev = "dev_name(consumer A"), + .supply = "Vcc", +},}; + +This maps Regulator-1 to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer B and maps Regulator-2 +to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer A. + +Constraints can now be registered by defining a struct regulator_init_data +for each regulator power domain.
