Oh, oops.  This is going to be fun when someone puts down two of the
same PMIC on a system...

What does that mean sorry?

Lots of regulators are using this mechanism for identifying child nodes.
If the node name is also used as a handle by other things to reference
the regulator then if you have two PMICs of the same type DTC isn't
going to be able to figure out which node you mean.

I haven't looked at the code yet, so I don't know the answer to this 
question, but; aren't they protected by the compatible string? If not, I 
think they should be. We shouldn't be parsing other platform's Device Trees.
