So if I get this right we should be making the following supplies required:
AVDD
VBAT or MICVDD (on rt5682s there's no VBAT so just MICVDD)

And for LDO1_ON and DBVDD what would be the best way to model? Should we make
them required in the binding as well and add them pointing to the same regulator
from AVDD in the chromebook DT or just leave them as optional?

Thanks,
