The original attempt for upstreaming this MFD had a different compatible
for each regulator which was not correct according to the reviewers at
the time. I have thus used the same compatible for all regulators and
make the distinction in the regulator driver (using the .id property).
But I think that the problem here is again that I have confused the
purpose of .name and .of_compatible properties of struct mfd_cell - if a
driver is probed due to the .name property then I indeed should not need
compatible for the regulator driver at all.
