Well, on the bindings side, we can't have MT6366 fall back to MT6358,
neither for the whole PMIC nor just for the regulators. For the latter
it's because neither is a subset of the other, which a) makes them not
fallback compatible as required by the spirit of fallback compatibles,
and b) cannot be described with a fallback compatible, as the fallback
one will have properties/nodes that are not valid for the other, and
vice versa.

Without a fallback compatible to lean in for the regulator driver, we
will need to split out the compatible at the mfd level as well. AFAIU
the mfd core matches mfd-cells based on the compatible strings it is
given in the driver.
