Please mention (here and in the commit message) that this is a rename
back to the old and fairly established property name, but without the
vendor prefix.

Essentially, it is a revert of a commit that is only in the regulator
tree.

What patch broke tps65910? Please refer to it using commit id and
summary (in parenthesis).

Is that commit currently only in the regulator tree? If so, that could
be an argument for not doing this change incrementally (but that's not
my decision to make).

I think you should squash the last three patches (i.e. update the
drivers and remove the helper in one patch).

Please do not mix patch revisions in your Subject lines when submitting
an updated series. Update the revision number for the series and all
patches in it even if a single patch happens to be unchanged (or new as
patch 4/4).
