yes, that is the same setup as on the Rock 5 ITX, see it's patch in
this series.

The difference being that for your Rock 5b it already works by accident,
as the pcie30x4 port-supply and the supply for the clock-generator are
controlled by the same gpio.

So it does make sense to model this correctly for correctness sake, but
there is no immediate need for action, as there is no fault happening
like on the Rock 5 ITX with its two separate ports.
