No, sorry. The regulator tree has already been merged into Linus' tree
for v3.12 so can't be changed now.

In any case the best approach to a situation like this is to make
incremental improvements to the code in mainline rather than just throw
out the existing code and start over. This ensures that no work done on
the mainline version during or after merge gets lost. The best way to
avoid this happening is to submit drivers as soon as you can, and of
course to make sure that any code sent to mainline is reviewed.
