You missed an important part of my comment:

"However, in the absence of a unit-address, the node name must be unique."

Now there are two "regulator" nodes.

Dtc will not complain, but will assume the second contains overrides for
first. "vddvario-supply" and "vdd33a-supply" of node "lan9220 at 20000000"
will both the point to the same node, and the network may not work.

You can see this yourself running

    dtc -I dtb -O dts arch/arm/boot/dts/emev2-kzm9d.dtb

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
