hmm, wrongly indented? At what level doet it belong? But as the regualor.yaml stuff can
be shortened, maybe just add it directly to ti,twl.yaml to avoid that trouble.

Hmm, even if we rely on them, it should somehow match what is inside that node
usually. We have @xx and reg=<xx>; e.g. So relax the stuff to allowing
any regulator-.* as node name independently of the contents?

And since that all is then shorter, maybe add stuff just directly to ti,twl.yaml?
