Can you explain what do you mean by 'grouped' ?
Do you mean that instead of having two properties dvdd18-supply and avdd18-supply
I have only one property vdd18-supply?

But the driver in patch 2/2 do access the anx7688 device with I2C.
It does interrogate the EC.

The SoC access the anx7688 though something called 'i2c-tunnel' (see google,cros-ec-i2c-tunnel.yaml)
So the I2C tunnels though the EC (I don't know how this is really implemented to be honest).
