Why? Dummy regulator is supposed to be a placeholder that allows all the
regular operations (enable/disable/etc) without having actually supply
attached. Optional regulators are supposed to only be users when there
are parts of a chip that are powered separately and may be not in use in
a given design.

This change is counter to the regulator framework.

Thanks.
