The vexpress regulator implementation is currently just called vexpress.
This is a problem because it clashes with another module with the same
name in hardware monitors.

This patch renames the vexpress regulator implementation to
vexpress-regulator so that there will be no clash in the module namespace.

Please allow a reasonable time for review.  People get busy, go on
holiday, attend conferences and so on so unless there is some reason for
urgency (like critical bug fixes) please allow at least a couple of
weeks for review.  Sending content free pings just adds to the mail
volume (if they are seen at all) and if something has gone wrong you'll
have to resend the patches anyway.

Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits and
issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much
easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access.
I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise
travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about
making things a bit easier to read.

...plus if you're using lkml.org it fails so often that it's likely
people won't be able to tell what you're talking about anyway.

Sorry for that. It was not a ping rather I just wanted to provide the
reference for the report since I realized I missed that initially.
I just asked the question along with that and didn't mean to show any
urgency. I do understand this patch is clearly not at all an urgent/
critical fix.

Understood. I knew lkml.org is broken if we tried very old links but
expected to work at-least for couple of month old patches. Anyways
hopefully [1] still works.

It's not old links in particular AFAICT, just general instability.
