The pca9846-9 chips do not have one VDD, they have separate supplies for
"low level" (VDD1), and "core logic" (VDD2). I don't know how such a
situation is normally reflected in bindings, but could it not cause
headaches later if use of unqualified VDD is spreading for those chips?
Possibly with different semantics depending on if vdd-supply is tied to
VDD1, VDD2 or both?

Cheers,
Peter
