Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: dts: allwinner: h6: Use dummy regulator for Tanix TX6

Tanix TX6 has a fixed regulator. As DVFS is instructed to change
voltage to meet OPP table, the DVFS is not working as expected.

Avoid to introduce a new dedicated OPP Table where voltage are
equals to the fixed regulator as it will only duplicate all the OPPs.
Instead remove the fixed regulator so the DVFS framework will create
dummy regulator and will have the same behavior.

Add some comments to explain this in the device-tree.
