regulator name is OK for me, but any ABI change should be:
1. Clearly expressed with rationale,
2. Done probably in one DT commit, not two. IOW, first silently dropping
a property and then adding a new one like nothing happened is not good.
It should be clear that old property is wrong because foo bar and we
make it now different with breaking all the DTS because foo bar.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
