It's a Device Tree thing. I do it so we can easily see which regulator 
is driving which device(s).

I personally think:

	vin-supply = <&db8500_vape_reg>;
	vmmc-supply = <&ab8500_ldo_aux2_reg>;

Tells us so much more and is simpler to decrypt at a glance than 
something like:

	vin-supply = <&vape_reg>;
	vmmc-supply = <&ldo_aux2_reg>;
