Actually, perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't quite see why this
move to a sub-node is needed. There is some flexibility in the
regulator framework for this as I noted earlier
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201102154848.tm5nsydaukyd7rrw@axis.com/).
For the case of an MFD it certainly makes sense to have a "regulators"
sub-node but for these chips it seems rather redundant.

Also, perhaps you could split this patch into logical pieces too as Mark
has suggested for some of the other patches in this series?
