I think that's the wrong one to remove; see below.

The name is fine, it's just amusing.

You're misunderstanding what supplies are.  The supplies define how the
regulators are connected to the other devices on the board, they allow
other devices to request supplies in terms of the name the device itself
uses for the supply (eg, "DBVDD") rather than in terms of a board
specific name (like what you've got above).  This is why there's a
device field - it's to specify the device that the supplies are in terms
of.

That's a separate thing, no need to enable change status for that.
