I think it's a bit awkward to have multiple regulators with the same
name, even on Linux when looking at debugfs for example.

Can you make this change on the Linux side and backport it here?

Or maybe we can use the regulator names from the schematics if we have
that (I don't remember :') ).

Thanks,
