Okay, I've been digging into that. But there's no actual driver that 
binds to a "usb-b-connector" compatible, so how do we get to the 
vbus-supply from there?

[devm_]regulator_get only accepts a device as argument, and will not 
look into child nodes. The only way to get at the vbus of a child node 
(or a node linked through a port) would be to hand-code the equivalent 
of of_regulator_get(), which will not be acceptable.

Or is it the intention that I write a usb-X-connector device driver 
first that handles the vbus?
