We've got two competing approaches here. For reg and interrupts, the proposal on the table that we talked about at LPC is to do reg-names and interrupts-names so as to preserve the existing semantics of the reg and interrupts properties. For gpios we're using the binding "<name>-gpios" for named gpio references. There isn't the same pressure to preserve existing bindings in that case. I'm okay with either approach, providing that "-regulator" is encoded into the name.I think I prefer the latter but I'm probably not too fussed. I'd rather use something like -supply for these just on the basis that you don't always connect things to regulators (for example, speaker supplies are generally attached direct to the battery).
Ok, I'll go with <name>-supply then.
