On some boards, especially when vbus supply requires large current,
and the charge pump on the PHY isn't enough, an external vbus power
switch
per port may be used.
Add portN_vbus-supply property to usb-ehci bindings. As the number of
ports
depends on the ehci controller, and the port on which an external vbus
supply depends on the platform, <portN> is used to make it generic.

Just make this an array with the index being the port (and drop
"portN_").

Does that still work if there is an external supply for port 1 but none for
port 0? I believe that was brought up as a possibility before.

Yes, if you use 0 or -1 to skip over an index.

Really, this should go in the connector node instead because Vbus is
supplied to the connector, not the host controller. The connector
binding is on its way into mainline.
