I'll mainly defer to Thierry for this patch, since he's the expert on 
this HW module.

Can we require the mbox-names property here, so that everything is 
looked up by names. I know that the proposed mbox binding states that 
using indexes is preferred over names, but that's just silly considering 
that names are widely used in most other similar bindings, and are much 
easier to extend in a backwards compatible fashion in the face of 
optional entries. As such, I'd prefer that all Tegra bindings use 
foo-names properties where they exist.

Why "-otg"? It's quite possible to have a regulator for VBUS even on 
systems that don't support OTG, but rather simply have the ability to 
turn VBUS off.

There are 2 blank lines there.
