Assuming that there is no REGEN signal from the twl4030 unless 1V8 is also
stable, I'd suggest as a simple solution:

	 vcc-supply = <&vio>;

Alternatively, we could define a dedicated fixed-regulator in omap3-gta04.dtsi
for the 3V3 rail. Which is always-on. This would allow to describe that e.g. the
itg3200, panel and other chips and sensors are also supplied by this. But since
no driver can really make use of it (turn on/off on demand) this is IMHO quite
needless.
