DT nodes should be named after the type of object they describe (e.g.
"regulator") rather than the name of the object they're describing (e.g.
"vape").

Once you've made that change, you end up with many nodes with the same
name in the same parent, so you need to make their names unique. You do
this by adding a "unit address" to each of them - "@0", "@1", ... But,
in order to be "allowed" to use such a unit address, you need a reg
property that matches the unit address, and #address-cells/#size-cells
in the parent node.

Laxman, you need a space after the = sign for all these added reg
properties, and #address-cells/#size-cells above.
