The outcome was to use labels in the driver and disregard node names as
the new fwnode API clobbers those names by including the @xx register
bit.

(I'll follow up with Jonathan whether or not to remove the current
fallback to node names, as [1] ended up discussing many different issues
and nits)

As a consequence it _doesn't matter_ how nodes are named, and we _can_
use generic node names. My question for you is whether we should, and
if we should lock that in via dt-bindings to guide everyone towards
using labels (which i did _not_ do in the recently-landed PM8950 and
PM6125, but will send followup for).
