The advantage of putting it in each board file is you could name it
based on the schematics. I see SoCKit_RevC it is named "VCC3P3"
It also allows you to specify the 3.3 supply as the output of a real
regulator driver. In s5_soc_devkit it looks like this comes from
LTC2978. That's got i2c connections. What happens when you add a
driver for that?
