What makes you say the two are equivalent?  The former is a reference
from a consumer device to a named regulator while the latter is a
reference from a regulator to a named consumer.

I mean they both link regulator<->consumer and apply the name "vmmc"
to the supply, or am I missing something / getting confused?

You're missing something - note what I say above about the direction the
mapping is done in, and consider what happens if we've got two of the
same PMIC down in a system.

I'm still not seeing how this would cause an issue. The only Device Tree 
nodes which will be parsed are the ones which are specified by a 
particular driver's compatible string, meaning that any other nodes 
referencing similar regulator/supply names would be ignored. In case I 
am still missing a critical point here, would you be kind enough to 
provide an example that we can work though together?
