Please use the normal kernel coding style for comments, I'm surprised
checkpatch didn't warn you about this.

This looks like a linear range from 2.5V in steps of 100mV?  A linear
range is better than a table since values can be mapped directly without
having to scan a table.

This is the sort of thing a voltage table is for where the voltages
aren't evenly spaced and don't map onto a formula.

A couple of problems here.  One is that the compatible strings should be
for specific devices, not use a wildcard.  The other is that since this
is part of a PMIC and we already have a compatible string for the PMIC
so this is really just a set of properties for that device rather than a
totally separate device - we're not achieving any real reuse over
multiple devices or anything.

Don't open code this, use the standard support with of_match and
regulators_node.

Though this looks like it's trying to have a device per regulator which
is an unusual pattern and if we are doing that then relying on the node
name to figure out which device this is a bit broken.
