Add optional DT property 'regulator-supplies' to handle connectors with
multiple supplies.
If this property is present, it will determine all regulator supplies.
Otherwise, the 'vout' supply will be used as a fallback.
This change improves support for connector like PCIe connectors on
mainboards that can be powered by 12V and 3.3V supplies.

Change in V2:

While you say use 'vout-supply' for a single supply, nothing enforces
that anymore.

Names in the consumer are relative to the consumer. You appear to be
naming these by the supplier. Just add vout[0-9]-supply and iterate over
that name in the driver. Then you don't need "regulator-supplies".
Really, you never did. You could just find all properties ending in
"-supply".
Please correct me if I have misunderstood anything
What I understood is:
1. Use 'for_each_property_of_node' & iterate each property,
2. String compare each property name ending with '-supply',
3. If there is match then initialize accordingly.
This way all *-supply property are also included including vout-supply.
This way, regulator-supplies isn't needed.
Shall I go ahead in this way ?
Rob
