None of this is relevant to the wl2868c binding.

This has nothing to do with the willsemi device and should not be in
this patch.

I assume you didn't make the input supplies mandatory because if their
output is not used, they're not actually needed?

That said, you're missing the vsys supply which I suspect may actually
be mandatory? At the very least, one of vin7 and vsys is mandatory,
because the higher of the two powers the internal control logic...
