i'm not sure. So here is the complete current state (power and regulator binding
from imx28.dtsi) including my suggestion for the new property:

	power: power at 80044000 {
		compatible = "fsl,imx28-power"; /* handled by mxs_power.c */
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		reg = <0x80044000 0x2000>;
		interrupts = <6>;
		switching-frequency = <24000000>; /* new property */
		ranges;

		reg_vddd: regulator at 80044040 {
			reg = <0x80044040 0x10>,
			      <0x80044010 0x10>,
			      <0x800440c0 0x10>;
			reg-names = "base-address",
				    "v5ctrl-address",
				    "status-address";
			compatible = "fsl,imx28-vddd"; /* handled by mxs-regulator.c */
			regulator-name = "vddd";
			regulator-min-microvolt = <1350000>;
			regulator-max-microvolt = <1550000>;
			vddd-supply = <&reg_vdda>;
		};

		reg_vdda: regulator at 80044050 {
			reg = <0x80044050 0x10>,
			      <0x80044010 0x10>,
			      <0x800440c0 0x10>;
			reg-names = "base-address",
				    "v5ctrl-address",
				    "status-address";
			compatible = "fsl,imx28-vdda"; /* handled by mxs-regulator.c */
			regulator-name = "vdda";
			regulator-min-microvolt = <1725000>;
			regulator-max-microvolt = <1950000>;
			vdda-supply = <&reg_vddio>;
		};

		reg_vddio: regulator at 80044060 {
			reg = <0x80044060 0x10>,
			      <0x80044010 0x10>,
			      <0x800440c0 0x10>;
			reg-names = "base-address",
				    "v5ctrl-address",
				    "status-address";
			compatible = "fsl,imx28-vddio"; /* handled by mxs-regulator.c */
			regulator-name = "vddio";
			regulator-min-microvolt = <3000000>;
			regulator-max-microvolt = <3575000>;
			regulator-microvolt-offset = <80000>;
		};
	};

Please correct me if i'm wrong.
