That sounds like two separate changes to me...

Even for a single GPIO specifiers are usually called -gpios.  It also
seems redundant to have the -uses property, if there is a GPIO specifier
for the enable then we can just assume it's supposed to be used without
the extra property.

Would it not be more natural to have the properties in the node for the
regulator (the recently added of_parse_cb will help with that)?

This will be broken for deferred probe, it's better to pass through any
errors.
