[PATCH RFC 1/2] dt-bindings: simplefb: Support a list of regulator supply properties

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

The physical display tied to the framebuffer may have regulators
providing power to it, such as power for LCDs or interface conversion
chips.

The number of regulators in use may vary, but the regulator supply
binding can not be a list. Work around this by adding a "num-supplies"
property to communicate the number of supplies, and a list of 0 ~ N
"vinN-supply" properties for the actual regulator supply.
