One can do this with
        regulator_bulk_get(NULL, ...);

However, MarkB did not like the idea of a driver getting the regulator from
the global DT namespace [1].

For the RC driver, one  cannot invoke  regulator_bulk_get(dev, ...) if
there is not a
direct child regulator node.  One needs to use the Port driver device.
The Port driver
device does not exist at this point unless one tries to prematurely create it;
I tried this and it was a mess to say the least.

RobH did not want the regulators to be under the RC as he said their DT
location should resemble the HW [2].  The consensus evolved
to place it under the port driver, which can provide a general
mechanism for turning
on regulators anywhere in the PCIe tree.
