The property xceiver-supply is used to describe connected transceiver
which do only rely on corresponding regulator configuration.
For example here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.14-rc2/source/arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6qdl-sabreauto.dtsi#L105

But I want to enable support for these:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.14-rc2/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/ti,tcan104x-can.yaml
