+1 for kumar's comment.

cant enforce the order here. should fix it in the driver.

Why should these devices be on sub nodes?

Any reason not to implement it like this,

rpm: rpm@...000 {
	compatible = "qcom,rpm-msm8960";
	reg = <0x108000 0x1000 0x2011008 0x4>;

	interrupts = <0 19 0>, <0 21 0>, <0 22 0>;
	interrupt-names = "ack", "err", "wakeup";
};

pm8921_s1: pm8921-s1 {
	compatible = "qcom,rpm-pm8921-smps";
	
	regulator-min-microvolt = <1225000>;
	regulator-max-microvolt = <1225000>;
	regulator-always-on;

	qcom,rpm = <&rpm QCOM_RPM_PM8921_S1>;
	qcom,switch-mode-frequency = <3200000>;
	qcom,hpm-threshold = <100000>;
};

This would simplify the driver code too and handle the interface neatly 
then depending on device hierarchy.
rpm would be a interface library to the clients. Makes the drivers more 
independent, and re-usable if we do this way.

...]

Probably qcom,force-mode:
	Usage: optional.
	Value type: <string>
	Definition: must be one of:
	"none"
	"lpm"
	"auto"
	"hpm"
	"bypass"

Makes it much simpler, as they seems to be mutually exclusive. simillar 
comments apply to other bindings too.

Probably qcom,power-mode:
	Usage: optional.
	Value type: <string>
	Definition: must be one of:
	"pwm"
	"hysteretic"
