device node names, here you do not have devices.

Adding "regulator" suffix does not make them more generic... anyway,
that's not expected pattern. First, do you see such code anywhere?
Second, the regulator node names should be usually named as the name of
physical component. That's the most common pattern.

Please do not bring some exceptions from coding style just for your
device. Your device is not special.

You did not respond to rest of my comments, so I assume you agree 100%
with them.

Also, please trim the replies from unneeded context.
