Like I say if we do that then we don't have consistency in how we map a
schematic into a DT binding - you have to dig into the binding of each
device and figure out if the supply is viewed as being for blocks or for
the chip as a whole and we've got the potential for problems in the
binding if we figure out that a supply is actually used by other blocks
later on and don't want to break existing DTs.
