Could we please format this like:

- compatible: should contain one of:
  * "ltc2974"
  * "ltc2977"
  * "ltc2978"
  * "ltc3880"
  * "ltc3883"
  * "ltm4676"

Given the file name, are these all variants of ltc2978?

What's the single address cell used for?

Which can be...?

What does this correspond to in the HW?

In other bindings I believe I've seen the node name used for this.

Mark, what's the preferred scheme for identifying regulators in a
container node?

Drop the 'aribtarary'. Either this should be the name of the regulator
on the board, or it shouldn't be necessary.

Mark.
