This change now triggers warnings on SC8280XP which does not have this
supply:

	gpu_cc-sc8280xp 3d90000.clock-controller: supply vdd-gfx not found, using dummy regulator

I've sent a change to start treating this optional supply as truly
optional here (even if it has not shown up in lore yet):

	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240325081957.10946-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org

But why are we still using the same compatible string for sc8280xp and
sa8540p and sa8295p if they differ in such a way?

Shouldn't these structures be different for the two classes of SoCs,
which would avoid such issues and which would allow us to continue to
warn if the supply is missing on a sa8540p derivative platforms where it
appears to be required.
