I'm not a fan of wild cards. It breaks far too often.  Can we name this
instead after a particular supported part - same for compatible.
I'm not sure what parts are supported by this, but you may want multiple
compatibles.

Is this something where there is a reasonable default?
If so I'd prefer it was optional so that the device is easier to
use without needing firmware description.

Same for this - if there is a reasonable default it would be good to
have that specified.

It would nice to relax the need for an interrupt if the device is still useable
with timeouts etc.  Board folk have a habit of deciding they don't need to wire
up interrupts.  We can relax that a later date though if you prefer not to do
it now.

Whilst true that the supplies need to be connected, that doesn't
mean they need to provided in the device tree binding.  If they are
always powered up I think we can fallback to stub regulators.
