Newer platforms vote for necessary power domains through the power
domain subsystem. For historical reasons older platforms like MSM8916
or MSM8974 still control these as regulators.

Managing them as power domains is preferred since that allows us
to vote for corners instead of raw voltages. Document that those
should be specified as power domains and deprecate using them
through the regulator interface.

Do you plan to change these platforms? If not then I wouldn't really 
call this deprecated.

Yes, MSM8916 is changed as part of this patch series.

It should also be done for MSM8974, but because I don't have any test
devices with it I'm not able to do it myself.

Actually the old binding likely works only because of other side effects
(other drivers voting for the same resources), so I personally I would
definitely call it deprecated.

Thanks!
