What Krzysztof said on this ;)

This feels like something we should be configuring at runtime rather that
DT, or is it driven by board design or similar?

The dt binding should attempt to describe the hardware, not what we happen
to support in the driver so far. So I'd expect to also see an interrupt.
That way if someone ships a dts file today, and we enable it sometime in the
future they will be ready for it.

Ah. This is presumably as side effect of having the driver set the voltage.
Normally we only need to 'require' a supply if we need to read it's voltage
(for scaling on ADCs and similar). That's not the case here so I wouldn't
expect to see it.
