Are the two #properties above really necessary? The regulators that will 
be placed here probably don't need any kind of addressing, so it should be 
possible to omit them.

I'd suggest suffixing name of this node with an index, like voltage-
regulator-0 to be more future proof, in case of further fixed regulators 
being added.

And here I'd use the same convention of suffixes, renaming the node to 
voltage-regulator-1 for the sake of consistency.

Best regards,
