Much simpler, it can be found at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/fixed-regulator.yaml

Not in probe(), but yes. It needs to be enabled when the VBUS has to
be powered up, when the device is initialised or switched to the host
mode, and disabled when the VBUS has to be powered down, if the device
is being switched to the device mode.
