If this is a subfunction of a MFD it shouldn't have a compatible string.
If it is instead a standalone device it should just have a name in the
form "vendor,chip" without any random suffixes.

These should *never* be mandatory properties and the generic regulator
bindings should be reference rather than copied into the binding for a
specific device, that way the standard definitions for things are always
used and people know about any other properties that are available as
standard.

Why is this in the binding?  This is a binding for a specific device,
there is no point in putting all these data tables in the DT - it just
bloats the DT and makes it harder for us to enhance our support for this
device in the future.  Just
