Agreed. History here is that we have put lots of IIO supported
devices in trivial-devices in the past and then it's turned out
someone has them on a board where they are controllable supplies.
So we end up having introduced insufficient binding docs + need
to move it later.

Much better to just have them documented from the start + just
turn them on at driver probe and off at remove (relying on regulator
subsystem support for fake supplies / fixed regulators where these
operations do nothing).  If someone wants to later do better power
control then that can be added without adding to the binding.
