Would we really have a case with a negative only reference? I would say if not
described, assume the pin is free for other use.

Assumption is only true when corresponding refp supply is described. Otherwise
we should assume the pin is free for other uses.

For reasons mentioned in the reply to the cover letter, I'm not a fan of the
monitor channels here.

Should we make this one a standard property like input-chopping?

The node name is already "vbias" so giving regulator-name is redundant.
