I was not thinking about something very clever, just issue a warning
like this, completely untested and likely flawed:

diff --git a/drivers/of/base.c b/drivers/of/base.c

EXPORT_SYMBOL(of_node_name_eq);

My concern is that we have identified one place here where the
conversion to of_node_name_eq() broke that particular driver in fact,
all other regulator drivers but qcom-rpmh-regulator.c that use
of_node_name_eq() are broken after that change, but presumably this is
not the only place in the kernel where things could break, so having a
warning could potentially help (also adding the backtrace which is neat).

What should the fix look like though? Add an of_node_casename_eq() and
use it, revert Rob's commit that changes these regulators to use
of_node_name_eq()?

I don't know the regulator framework enough to know whether forcibly
making the names lowercase is not breaking sysfs/debugfs...
