It has been discussed before but it never seemed sensible to me.  hwmon
is a read only interface monitoring the actual state of the system while
regulators are write only and if things are going wrong may not reflect
the actual state of the system.  Exporting write only information via
hwmon seems to break expectations for users of it, but perhaps that's
not what people are expecting from hwmon these days.
