Correct. Rename the helper and property name you introduced to
"of_device_is_system_power_controller" and "system-power-controller" and
update the act8865 driver to use the new names (all in one patch).

Send the patch to Mark (and keep everyone else one CC) so he can apply
it to the regulator tree.

Other drivers that are currently using "ti,system-power-controller" can
continue to do so (for backward compatibility), while we later also add
a call to your helper function (and update binding documentation) and
also update the device trees for boards that use this functionality.

Thanks,
Johan
