Node name should be 'connector', not usb3-c-connector.

Shouldn't the vbus supply be in the phy? Or is this a situation where
the phy itself doesn't have the vbus supply going to it because the PMIC
gets in the way and handles the vbus for the connector by having the SoC
communicate with the PMIC about when to turn the vbus on and off, etc?
