This description of the internal driver behavior does not belong into a
DT binding description.
Instead the binding should describe the function of the regulator
exactly. From the datasheet I can see that there are actually 3
supplies (VPH, VP, VPTX) going into the PCIe PHY, so "regulator in
charge of PCIe PHY power" doesn't seem like a very accurate
description.
