You're right Stephen; for the platforms with multiple pmics this will
spit out a bunch of warnings and Guenter's fix does not change that
fact.

Either we make the regulator names more specific (like pm8058_l1) or
we build desc.name out of pdev->dev.of_node->name and the regulator
name. I like the latter, so unless someone object I'll respin it that
way.
