Well, removing the random extra _s would be a big start (though I'd just
drop the chip name entirely from the name of the regulators since by the
time we're looking at the regulator we've already identified the chip)
and as I keep saying you need to document what the names mean - what are
the possible names and how do they map onto the hardware?
