OK let's hope this doesn't blow up in our face :/
Then I have to think of something.

It sadly won't work.

The reason is the way the regulator device tree bindings look,
specifying just:

Optional properties:
- gpio: gpio to use for enable control
- startup-delay-us: startup time in microseconds
- enable-active-high: Polarity of GPIO is Active high
If this property is missing, the default assumed is Active low.
- gpio-open-drain: GPIO is open drain type.
  If this property is missing then default assumption is false.
-vin-supply: Input supply name.

Not "enable-gpios" as we would write it today.

So it has to retrieve the first (and only) GPIO.

This is another of those historical artifacts, I have tried to
contain some of them, but I don't know if I can do much
about this one :/
