Ah sorry, I see that nowadays the form is e.g. button-174.
This was probably a copy-paste from older dts. And indeed there's no reg around
to justify it (and a voltage is not an address anyway).

Right, I don't think it needs to be. I'll test without it and remove if it is
indeed not needed.

Keep in mind that all of this comes from the fex and I don't have schematics
so this is trial and error.

According to the fex and trial and error, there's no way to drive VBUS on the
hardware design so it's only peripheral.

Cheers and thanks for the review,
