OK so can we find some suitable middle ground here?

Something like drivers could add some boolean flag to
"opt-in" for the core to handle this or so?

After all only some MMC drivers call up to
mmc_regulator_set_ocr() to set voltages, it's optional
but centralized.

I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with ASoC to have a
good suggestion on how to do this though...
