Why is Maxim capitalised in such a way?
If you're going to use the term Multi-Function Device, please
capitalise it.
> +MAX14577 is a Multi-function device with Micro-USB Interface Circuit, Li+
Same here.

The whole of the "Optional nodes" explaination isn't as clear as it
could otherwise be.

I'm gussing this is IRQ5 and the 0 is flags? If so, please use
#defines for the flags.

The name of the node (not the label:safeout_reg) usually depicts the
type of device, so 'regulator at 0' and 'regulator at 1'. However, I'm
unsure how this works when these nodes are encapsulated by an
overarching 'regulators' parent node.
Perhaps Mark can answer this?
