See history of this patch.

Because actual patch at the end of email is too much eye clutter for
the poor device tree people, I can prepare nice series... producing
more work for me and more noise on the lists? No, thanks.

Ok. Actually, reading docs below, "power-gpio" will not work, and it
needs to be "power-gpios", right?
