So I really don't like this.

Why the heck would "lp3971.h" be under "include/linux"? That makes no 
sense what-so-ever. 

Why isn't it just

	drivers/regulator/lp3971.c
	drivers/regulator/lp3971.h

instead? There is never any reason for anything but the lp3971 driver to 
include its own header file, they should _not_ be split up to be in two 
different places.

In fact, why do we have a "include/linux/regulator/" at all? Does anybody 
else ever care? I doubt it.

Anyway, I pulled it, but I think this needs to be fixed.
