Name "regulator-usdhc2-vmmc" is not general, it is specific. The DT
specification gives the example of generic name and it is "regulator".

It is the same with CPU nodes having names "cpu at 0", not "cpu-a53 at 0" or
whatever other suffix. It is the same reason why I2C is "i2c at 12345678",
not "i2c_1@" or "i2c_for_abcd".

The suffix is not needed as Linux does not use it (instead uses
regulator-name which is specific). Humans on the other hand can
understand the specifics from the label and from the regulator name.
Therefore they also do not need the suffix.

I know that other i.MX DTSes follow this pattern but it is still not the
recommended one. It's a pattern which should be replaced.

Anyway, if the names of regulators stop this patch from being applied, I
will change them to expected.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
