Why is Maxim capitalised in such a way?

If you're going to use the term Multi-Function Device, please
capitalise it.

Same here.

The whole of the "Optional nodes" explaination isn't as clear as it
could otherwise be.

I'm gussing this is IRQ5 and the 0 is flags? If so, please use
#defines for the flags.

The name of the node (not the label:safeout_reg) usually depicts the
type of device, so 'regulator@0' and 'regulator@1'. However, I'm
unsure how this works when these nodes are encapsulated by an
overarching 'regulators' parent node.

Perhaps Mark can answer this?
