I apologize for the oversight on my part. Upon further testing, I have 
discovered that the default did not reflect in the debug prints. I will 
address this issue and include the proper fix in the next patchset. 
Thank you for bringing this to my attention

Sure. Will make it something like "Support multiple supplies in DT".
