Use of - vs. _ is inconsistent there. It should be -.

I would re-phrase that as:

Must contain a sub-node per regulator from the list below. Each sub-node
should contain the constraints and initialization information for that
regulator. See regulator.txt for a description of standard properties
for these sub-nodes. Additional custom properties  are listed below.

Perhaps "Optional sub-node properties:"?

If those are required, shouldn't they be listed in a "Required
properties" section above? In particular, the order of entries in the
interrupts property must be defined, as well as the expected nameds in
the interrupt-name property.

Oh, and it's interrupt-names not interrupt-name.

Oh, one question though: How does the regulator driver determine the
register address of the regulator sub-device within the overall PMIC?
Presumably if these are pluggable independent modules, that could change
depending on which overall chip the PMIC device is plugged into. don't
you need a reg property to specify that?

Aside from those comments, this all looks reasonable to me.
