This was my first approach but the problem is that we currently don't
support such use-case:

	parent-node {
		/* Parent controlling the supply of the child node */

		child-node {
			vbus-supply = <&reg>;
		};
	};

at least I didn't found such use-case. I'm happy for pointers if you
know more :) At the moment *-supply properties and device-nodes are
bound together:
	
	parent-node {
		vbus-supply = <&reg>;
	};

Regards,
  Marco
