Sorry, I've been sleep walking through these and missed the big obvious
thing.

These shouldn't be optional regulators at all. If one isn't specified
we do want to fall back to a stub regulator.

Just because we can't see or control the power supply doesn't mean it
shouldn't be there.

The exception to this is where we have a regulator providing a voltage
reference where there is an alternative internal reference.
In those cases there might be nothing connected to the pin and hence
it really is 'optional'. We want to do something else if it's not
there. Power supplies are just invisible, not optional and the
regulator framework has always handled that for us.
