Thank you for the pointer. I dug around the vph_pwr fixed-regulator
node used by fellow sdm845 devices. I assume it is safe to copy it
from sdm845-mtp but I couldn't verify it in the downstream
device-tree, so I'm a bit hesitant. My main concern is that I don't
want to burn down my only device :)

I did find a few regulator nodes downstream which matches with
upstream sdm845-mtp but since I'm not using any of them in my
beryllium dts, I'm going to skip them for now.

As you pointed out, in case of regulator lookup failure Linux will
fall back to dummy regulators, which is working fine for me so far.
Also I see that vdd-*-supply properties are optional according to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/qcom,rpmh-regulator.txt,
so I assume it is safe to skip them?
