I'm not sure what you mean.  The regulator name is "otg", defined by the DT node
name. The code requires that the DT node name be "otg", and defines a regulator
with the same name.

As far as I know, you have to define a DT label for the node, in order
to reference this regulator with a phandle.  Is that what you are referring to?
I usually use "chg_otg" as the label.  Are you asking that this be reflected
in the example?

Yes.  Enabling it allows the device to power the USB VBUS line for host
mode, and disabling it allows power to flow the other way (into the device)
for charging, when the USB port is in gadget mode.
