My intent is to provide better looking names by default.
I just realized I could do this in the driver by replacing
a few fields.

But I still might need to do this for the AXP806, which
is a slave PMIC also used with A80 SoCs. The names overlap
with the AXP809. Allwinner gets around this by adding a
"s_" prefix to them. I suppose that works too.

Mark, may I assume you are OK with this DTS include listing
the regulators, even if their sections are empty?

Will remove.
