ok, I think I will follow the framework to handle it.
I will add supply description in devicetree
LDO_VIN1-supply:
description: Input supply phandle(s) for LDO1/2/3 which is supply from VSYS
LDO_VIN2-supply:
description: Input supply phandle(s) for LDO5 which is supply from
VSYS
LDO_VIN3-supply:
description: Input supply phandle(s) for LDO6/7
