I guess it is because:
PMBUS_REGULATOR_STEP("buck", 0, MPQ7932_N_VOLTAGES,
creates regulator name as buck+id (so buck0).

However as Rob pointed out, driver can handle buck for this variant. We
want the bindings to be independent from Linux implementation and this
patch here adds such dependency.

Therefore I still believe this should be just "buck", unless the
datasheet says it is "buck0". Which I doubt.
