Sorry about that.

I guess the solution I'd prefer is the original patch, but with a twist ;-) .

vcc_host_5v: vcc_host1_5v: vcc_otg_5v: vcc-host-5v-regulator {
...
}

A node can have multiple phandles (see for example [0]), so we'd do the
one node for all regulators (with one gpio), but use the correct phandles
to identify the actual line to the consumer.

This way we still keep somewhat close to the schematics so people can
follow along, but also have the benefit that the regulator gets turned
of when none of the 3 users need it.
