I mean they both link regulator<->consumer and apply the name "vmmc"
to the supply, or am I missing something / getting confused?
You're missing something - note what I say above about the direction the
mapping is done in, and consider what happens if we've got two of the
same PMIC down in a system.
I'm still not seeing how this would cause an issue. The only Device Tree
nodes which will be parsed are the ones which are specified by a
particular driver's compatible string, meaning that any other nodes
referencing similar regulator/supply names would be ignored. In case I
am still missing a critical point here, would you be kind enough to
provide an example that we can work though together?
