Not sure how to encode either one or the other property being required, but
not both at once.

Maybe I can add a supply-vibrator compatible to the driver and binding and
make requirements dependent on the compatible?

Though nothing bad will happen in the driver if binding will lack both
of these. The driver will just not control any HW, so at least it's
failsafe as is.
