I'm not too concerned about keeping the lights on in this scenario, but
if we can describe this properly let's do so (and let's do so on other
boards with connectors as well).

We'd have a set of usb-a-connector nodes, that we can tie to the nodes
in the USB/phy, and the supply. But so far we've associated a connector
with a port manager, here we don't have one of those, so where would the
node reside and who should acquire and drive the vbus-supply?
