I think the generic part for regulators might be a problem. Regulator
API requires a name for the supply... it cannot get "something" or
"everything".

The driver could attach itself to any kind of node (where power-sequence
property exists) so the supply name depends on the bindings of device
(not bindings of power sequence driver).

The power sequence driver could however iterate over child properties
and get the names of all supplies. It is a little bit ugly...
