I'm not sure why twl works in that way. Is it a sign that those
configuration peeked by twl regulator driver should be encoded in twl
regulator driver itself instead of being passed from the board? Or
why the board does not pass something matching driver/hardware
capability to save that peek?

For this particular case, we just end up with having some duplicated
constraints description in the dts file. To me, it's not a problem.

IMO, these cases should be generalized to fit the common pattern of
regulator drivers.

Let's look at mc13892-regulator driver. There are 23 regulators defined
in array mc13892_regulators. Needless to say, there is a dev behind
mc13892-regulator driver. And when getting probed, this driver will
call regulator_register() to register those 23 regulators individually.
That said, for non-dt world, we have 1 + 23 'dev' with that 1 as the
parent of all other 23 'dev' (wrapped by regulator_dev). But with the
current DT implementation, we will have at least 1 + 23 * 2 'dev'.
These extra 23 'dev' is totally new with DT.
