It is in fact a GPIO line used as reset.

Why not? I think it fits very well in the regulator device model. I couldn't find a better
way to represent this. It gives us a way to specify not only the GPIO line but also
the polarity. I know mostly reset is active low but still there is flexibility as you never
know for sure.

Do you have any better ideas?

FYI. The USB PHY driver is already treating reset as a regulator and is into 3.10. Reworking that
will take some time. Not getting these in will prevent USB host/ethernet support on panda.

cheers,
