*sigh*  To repeat yet again this is not associated with DT in the way
that you seem to believe it is.

I don't think you understand what _has_full_constraints() does, the way
that you're still going on about DT seems to suggest that this is the
case.  A USB-I2C adaptor will work in exactly the same way as anything
on the motherboard in an ACPI system unless it explicitly ensures that
it registers any software controllable supplies which also works fine.
