This may have been answered last time but I don't remember - why is
there a compatible string for this device in the DT?  Surely we already
know that the regulators for the mt6323 are present by virtue of the
fact that we know that the core mt6323 is present in the system?
Indeed, looking at the now merged MFD code it appears that this is
in fact the case so we could just not have a compatible and perhaps this
was just an oversight.  This is good because it means we're not encoding
the specific way Linux instantiates devices into the DT.

Otherwise this does look good.
