Fair enough, that can be done.

But this IC has no pin named "unlock". This is something else.

Given the way it works it looks like a regulator enable signal.

If you don't have any better idea about what this is, I would
suggest adding

vin-supply

to the RT8615 bindings instead and then use a GPIO regulator
in your device tree to provide the voltage to it from that GPIO.
