I don't follow how this is making things more readable.

Maybe a more logical way to do this would be use the existing i2c2 label
and write all the additions as

i2c2: {
	status = "okay";
	clock-frequency = <400000>;

	lis331dlh at 18 {
		compatible = "st,lis3lv02d";
		reg = <0x18>;

		vdd-supply = <&lis3_reg>;
		vdd-io-supply = <&lis3_reg>;
		...
	};

The normal convention is to use '-', not '_', so that part was ok.

I think naming the other one lis3lv02d_spi was a mistake, it should
be named 'st,lis3lv02d' independent of the bus IMHO.
