What added information is forcing the user to create a subnode and specify a compatible string providing? This driver is specifying a block of multiple regulators with absolute register addresses hard coded into it, there's no real ability to use the driver in a different configuration here. As soon as we see the parent device we already know everything there is to know about the IP block, having a separate compatible string just forces the user to do more typing for no gain.
