I added the regulator data like

+                       smps10_out1_reg: smps10_out1 {
+                               regulator-name = "smps10_out1";
+                               regulator-min-microvolt = <5000000>;
+                               regulator-max-microvolt = <5000000>;
+                               regulator-always-on;
+                               regulator-boot-on;
+                               regulator-allow-bypass;
+                               ti,warm_sleep = <0>;
+                               ti,roof_floor = <0>;
+                               ti,mode_sleep = <0>;
+                               ti,warm_reset = <0>;
+                               ti,tstep = <0>;
+                               ti,vsel = <0>;
+                       };

and from my controller I reference it using
+               vbus-supply = <&smps10_out1_reg>;

and in the controller driver I use
+               vbus_reg = devm_regulator_get(dev, "vbus");

Thanks
