Ah, right. DT isn't being terribly helpful here... I think the thing
I'd expect to work here is that you have a reference back to the supply
property of the backlight device rather than direct to the regulator so
you end up writing "enable supply X" rather than "enable regulator X".
Not quite sure how exactly you'd accomplish that - I guess if
regulator_get() would recursively follow phandles until it hits a node
that'd do the trick?
