My understanding is, that we have to have either a DT node with regulator-name = 
"sram" property to pollute rdev->constraints->name or some regulator_desc->name 
populated in the drivers/regulator/mt*.c

I wasn't able to find either of this, so I wonder how this is supposed to work. 
Please provide pointers to a working and complete implementation of this, so 
that I'm able to judge what is going on and if the approach is the correct one.

I tried to figure out using mt8195-tracking-master-rolling

Matthias
