No problem with using STATE_ACTIVE or any other fitting description. IMHO
that "active" is misleading for regulators without "always-on/boot-on" tag,
but that was TI's decision.

Not in its current state. During kernel build the C preprocessor is
applied on the *.dts files. So the header may only contain
preprocessor macros (e.g. #define). For that solution something like
~/src/linux/include/dt-bindings/regulator/maxim,max77802.h should
be created for the twl regulator.
