While you say use 'vout-supply' for a single supply, nothing enforces 
that anymore.

Names in the consumer are relative to the consumer. You appear to be 
naming these by the supplier. Just add vout[0-9]-supply and iterate over 
that name in the driver. Then you don't need "regulator-supplies". 
Really, you never did. You could just find all properties ending in 
"-supply".
