Why do we even need a compatible here - it's not adding any new
information to the parent mt8183 node, the compatible is mainly for the
way Linux divides things up rather than a description of the hardware.
We could just say that the regulator node always has a particular name
instead.

It's also not quite true that it contains "only" the compatible - it
also allows the regulator constraints to be defined.
