I don't see why you need num-supplies. Why not just try probing vin${N}-supply until such a property isn't present in the DT?

Yeah... I considered "backlight" and "panel" properties, but that seems to need more effort to parse.

I would not add a hard limit to the binding, you can use a fixed array in the code to make the code simpler. I would say 8 should be sufficient, since the limit will only be in the code we can always bump it when we need to.

Even better would be to just enumerate all the properties on the node and request anything with a FOO-supply name. That way we can keep using standard regulator bindings that name the supplies after their actual names on the device. > > That's doable. Though I'd add a hard limit on it.

Or just dynamically allocate the array and resize as needed if it starts to get to be a problem.

The physical display tied to the framebuffer may have regulators providing power to it, such as power for LCDs or interface conversion chips. The number of regulators in use may vary, but the regulator supply binding can not be a list. Work around this by adding a "num-supplies" property to communicate the number of supplies, and a list of 0 ~ N "vinN-supply" properties for the actual regulator supply.
