It's consistent like this for all MSM8916 device trees at least.

Back when I converted them I thought that it's kind of annoying to have
this large list of regulators and pinctrl placed right inbetween all
other device definitions. And it's even worse for apq8016-sbc.dtsi which
has this large list of gpio-line-names. It just makes it harder to see
the actual interesting definitions (new devices etc) in my opinion.

I think I mentioned this in my patch description back then
and Bjorn did not complain. :-)

But I understand this may be somewhat inconsistent with other qcom
device trees at the moment, so I suppose I would be fine with a patch
to order them entirely alphabetically.
(As long as it's consistent for all MSM8916 device trees...)

Thanks,
Stephan
