Yes, it can be done. The reason I kept is that this driver needed T210 
onwards and not for older generation of SoC.

May be we can select from T210 pincontrol.

Yes, I looked for the common property but did not found anything near to 
this.
My understating for power-source is that selecting the source of supply, 
not the voltages.
I am looking something  power-source-voltage-level.
Should we add this?

When writing, I considered this property but was not able to fully 
convinced myself to use this but I think now I am fine to use this as 
you suggested.

Yaah, these are in my plate to cleanup. Let me work with Stephen, what 
he think here.
