Mali GPUs have a separate supplying regulator in a lot of socs,
so describe a mali-supply property. The already described
operating points will likely also need access to this regulator.

Wouldn't a power domain be more appropriate?

At least on Rockchip socs there is a power-domain, but also the separate 
additional regulator. See the similar mali-midgard binding.

And that regulator's state is independent of the power domain's state? 

But I guess OPPs need a regulator. Really we should allow OPPs to be 
tied to the power domain. Maybe we do, I can't keep up with the ever 
evolving PM stuff.

So, given we already have it for midgard,
