Done, will be in the next version I push out.

Which chunks in particular?  Note that I've not currently included the
audio driver - it will need much more interaction with the core than the
regulator support does and it doesn't feel right to have it peer into
drivers/mfd for things it needs.  While I have split much of that into a
separate audio header file for the next submission there are several
areas which cross over multiple functions.

The goal in splitting out wm8400.h from wm8400-private.h was to ensure
that the (fairly small) interface intended for use by clients of the
driver was clearly separated from the interfaces intended for use within
the WM8400 drivers themselves.  I'd like to keep this separation since
it makes it clearer to users which interfaces they should be using and
having to include a separate file makes this very easy to spot on
review.
