I don't think you actually need to modify any of the documentation; the
function is still doing the exact same thing and it's an implementation
detail really that it's doing it based on the regulator-compatible
property rather than the node name now.

Still, that's just a nit-pick, so I'm OK either way.

You may as well "break;" here to avoid checking all the other match
table entries, which hopefully don't have duplicate names...

But, that's also pretty minor, so:
