No, that's misunderstanding of DT. These are not supplies to anx7688.

Bus supply is not related to anx7688.

Again, that's nothing related to anx7688. If you want to add it here,
why not to every device everywhere?

No, do not add non-existing properties on this device as workaround for
other issues.

Please drop these two supplies *and all other which do not exist* on
anx7688.

Best regards,
