You can find examples of this in these:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra210-p2597.dtsi
arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra210-p3450-0000.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra186-p2771-0000.dts

My recollection is that the above (or at least some of them) predate USB
connectors.
It's possible that we could convert the above to have the VBUS supply
listed in the connector instead of the port. However, since we have to
preserve backwards compatibility with older device trees, we can't
revert the commit anyway.
