No, this was noticed just in 'code', that other (also rpmh) devices have
the -supply properties, but not this device.

Then, this change still makes
/sys/kernel/debug/regulator/regulator_summary have a nice hierachy of
regulators and not all of them parented to regulator-dummy.

Shall I send a v2 with this justification in the commit message? Or is
it okay to pick it up as-is?
