This isn't something anyone else seems to be running into - most of the world is converting entire boards to device tree in one fell swoop and sticking with normal style until that works. > Would it be possible to add a new binding that is handled inside of > of_get_regulator_init_data() or of_get_regulation_constraints() that > provides a means to directly specify regulator_init_data.consumer_supplies > entries?

Well, we certainly shouldn't be putting this in the device tree as that rather defeats the point... Some sort of auxdata style thing would be possible I guess but I'm not sure it's worth bothering.
