Yes.

I'd say that if the driver is doing this then the driver is buggy - the
user should be able to distinguish between two regulators appearing for
the same device.  Either the RPM should create dummy devices for the two
PMICs or something should insert the PMIC name into the regulator name
somewhere along the line (perhaps in the static data).
