No, the bindings should use the specific names that the supplies have,
generally whatever the names they are given in the datasheet for the
device.  If the device has no actual supplies then it almost certainly
shouldn't be working with the regulator API.

No, the driver for the device should handle things.  The code is pretty
trivial, though if someone wants to write helpers then sure.
