Perhaps you are confusing this with the bindings we came up for
picking right voltage levels based on the cuts/version of the hardware
we are running on. The problem that Lee Jones mentioned and that can
be used in your case as well.

That's not the problem I was trying to solve here.

No. The name has to match the <name>-supply property present in the
device's node, that's why we need this property :)

Right, that's a good example of why we need multi-regulator support :)
