Originally, I always liked regulator-name to be on top, identifying
the regulator, similar to how compatible works.

But I do have to concede that this is just another "special-case" of
style-preference, that makes it harder to explain things to people
and in the end we should just follow the documented sorting, without
tribal knowledge :-) .


The other issue with moving stuff around is, that it makes it harder
to follow git history, because git blame then reports the sort-commit.


I guess it is ok for individual files, someone does take care of,
like Diederik for the Pinetab, but please don't start resorting all the
existing devicetrees :-) .
