This supply is required for the devices that need it so I'd therefore
expect the driver to request the supply non-optionally based on the
compatible string rather than just hoping that a missing regulator isn't
important.  Though I do have to wonder given the lack of any active
management of the supply if this is *really* part of the GPU or if it's
more of a SoC thing, it's not clear what exactly adding this code is
achieving.
