This is not a real regulator.

This is an external regulator which is enabled with a gpio
(GPR3[3]). The regulator-fixed allows me to use the regulator API
even though I would only need to control a gpio (with the gpio
API). I prefer using regulator to keep the same interface no
matter how the irda is connected.

About the name, I have full freedom to chose as of course it's
not documented in the exynos5433 datasheet. Perhaps I could call
it irda-gpio-regulator to make it more clear?
