What should we call the nodes?

"regulator0" and "regulator1"?
"regulator1v8" and "regulator3v3"?

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/regulator.txt doesn't mention
node names or (presence/lack of) unit-adresses, but the examples do have
unit-addresses.

Is this another case where we don't follow the "no reg, no unit-address"
ePAPR rule?

As far as the regulator API is concerned the node name is completly
immaterial and all this stuff is just verbiage we're forced to include.
As far as I can tell the requirement that node names be in the form
"regulator" or whatever is just another thing that wasn't terribly well
thought through in ePAPR, they were trying to do classes I think.
