I think it's better to give this a real node name.  The
"regulator_3_3v" will get dropped when you compile this into a binary
format (for shipping), so you're creating a node that's just called
"regulator".  If you had more than one fixed regulator like this it
just won't work.

I haven't seen any official guidelines, but I tend to use "regulator"
as a suffix and then put the schematic name.  Like:

  3_3v_regulator: 3-3-v-regulator

It's probably not necessary to specify "boot-on" and "always-on" since
there's no GPIO backing this (in other words, those properties are
implied since there's no way to turn this regulator off).


I haven't gone back and checked this against your schematics, but they
look good to me.  Once you've fixed above you are free to add my
Reviewed-by if you wish.
