[RFC PATCH] ARM: dts: imx6qdl: specify vcc-supply for NOP USB PHYs

The SoC dtsi lists a NOP USB PHY for each of the two HSIC-only USB
controllers. Their device tree node doesn't indicate a vcc-supply
resulting in:

  usb_phy_generic usbphynop1: supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator
  usb_phy_generic usbphynop2: supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator

warnings on boot up. The USB IP vcc-supply - separate from the vusb - is
hardwired to LDO_2P5[1], which we already have a device tree node for.
Reference it for the dummy "phy" as well.

This will lead to breakage (probe deferment) for kernels that:
  - Use a HSIC USB controller
  - Use this new device tree
  - but have CONFIG_REGULATOR_ANATOP disabled

Because while the regulator is always-on, it can't be resolved when
there is no driver for it.

As there are

  - no affected upstream device trees
  - existing device trees are unaffected without recompilation
  - disabling CONFIG_REGULATOR_ANATOP is explicitly a non-recommended
    configuration per symbol help text

this potential breakage is deemed acceptable.
