Is there any Documentation update for this new binding?

With _optional APIs we distinguish 3 cases: found, not found, error.
And error can be (among others) the deferred probe, meaning that GPIO
_is coming_. Hence the rule of thumb for the _optional() APIs is to
check for error and bail out on that condition (note, it's applicable
to any _optional() APIs, not limited by GPIO library).

It seems it can be modeled as a (GPIO) regulator. At least many
drivers do so, but I leave this to the maintainers to decide.
