That's almost certainly where the name originates from back in the
90s. I view 'reg' as how you identify or address a device. This can be
channels of something like an ADC.

It's perhaps a stretch for OPP nodes as they aren't really a device,
but if the levels are part of the h/w then perhaps reg is a good
match.
