In case of regulator, I am not so sure it needs a dedicated property of
DT. If it is I2C regulator - the parent node is I2C bus and regulator
device is some child of I2C controller (could be via a MFD device), so
no need for dedicated property.

If it uses interrupts, then:
1. The presence of interrupts is already known - "interrupts" property.
2. The actual use of interrupts is DT independent and only driver knows it.

Best regards,
