The DT guys have been clear on that the order of the reg property must
be fixed, no matter if you have reg-names or not. But I will make sure
to clarify this by being specific in the definition of "reg" as well.

I'll add something to the definition of "interrupts" to clarify this fact.

Based on that I split this up in the different regulator types I
should be able to glob the possible resources here now; I'll give it a
try.

Force mode is an enum, you can only set one of these.
Looking around you can find three ways of doing this:
1) Make it an int and provide defines in a dt-bindings header file
2) Make it a string and list the possible values
3) Make it a set of boolean properties
I just spent some time in the pinctrl struff that implements 3), I
like the feel of it and I like how the dts ended up looking like.
But if there's a strong opinion regarding this I could change it.

Same as for force-mode

They are just arbitrary values, similar to what you find in e.g. the
clock definitions.
Thanks for the review.
