indeed, this is not working for me either.
I checked my old notes at [0] -> it works for me when setting
"vbus-supply" at the usb controller (not the PHY).

with the following snippet:
  &usb1 {
    status = "okay";
    vbus-supply = <&usb_vbus>;
  };
I get:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/regulator/regulator_summary | grep -i usb
   c90c0000.usb                  1                                 0mA
    0mV     0mV
   c90c0000.usb                  1                                 0mA
    0mV     0mV
   USB_VBUS                      1    1      0 unknown  5000mV     0mA
 5000mV  5000mV
      c90c0000.usb               1                                 0mA
    0mV     0mV

can you please try this on your board as well?

with "vbus-supply" moved to the usb1 node I get the following result:
1. same: hot-plugins of usb device is not working
2. different: a reboot doesn't make devices come up
3. same: no power is supplied to the USB ports (in my case this causes
#2, but it's not clear why there's no power...)
4. different: the regulator is registered with the USB controller in debugfs
