No, "regulator-tlv71033" does not match DT spec. Indeed better to have
some generic suffix, e.g. regulator-vbatt, but strictly speaking DT spec
asks for just "regulator-[0-9]".

However several people prefer such descriptive suffix instead of
"regulator-[0-9]" because it makes their life easier when extending DTSI
(when both DTSI and DTS provide some of such regulators). Therefore I
don't think it's that important to keep with the spec. Rob for example
does not complain here, so probably I am stricter than him.

In any case it would be good to have only suffix or only prefix, e.g.
"regulator-foo-bar" or "foo-bar-regulator", so DT schema can match
against it. Several other types of devices already require such naming.
