This topic is on stall since two years now and I still have the patch in
the patch stack for my mx25 boards.

In my eyes my patch is the right one, because no matter how, the usb
phys need some powering, so devm_regulator_get_optional() doesn't seem
to be the right approach.

Would resending the patch help?
