Yes, for any sufficiently similar PMICs, including SPMI ones. So
'qpnp-regulator' would be a generic name, but only Qualcomm knows what
PMICs they have and how they are related -- the rest of us is left doing
tedious code forensics to try to make some sense of this.

So just like for compatible strings, letting the first supported PMIC
name the driver makes sense as we don't know when we'll want to add a
second one for another set of devices (and we don't want to call that
one 'qpnp-regulator-2'). On the other hand, these names are now mostly
internal and can more easily be renamed later.
