Looking at the existing mfds they all have a list in the code of the
regulators supported on a certain mfd. Through the use of
regulator_desc.{of_match,regulators_node} these regulators are
populated with properties from of_nodes matched by name (of_match)
under the specified node (regulators_node).
But as we've discussed in other cases it's not desirable to maintain
these lists for the various variants of Qualcomm platforms, so I did
choose to go with "standalone" platform devices - with matching
through compatible and all.

But that's all implementation, looking at the binding itself a
regulator {} (clocks{} and msm_bus{}) would serve as a sort of
grouping of children based on type. Except for the implications this
has on the implementation I don't see much benefit of this (and in our
case the implementation would suffer from the extra grouping).


Let me know what you think, I based these ideas on just reading the
existing code and bindings, and might very well have missed something.
