When we start doing this we also start having to worry about things like
the sequencing of the updates between the various supplies and end up in
full on power sequencing (or at least baking some sequencing into the DT
which will doubtless need extending at some point). I'm not sure that's
a place we want to end up just yet, I think it's safer to just have a
little bit of code in the kernel that glues things together in the cases
where this is needed.
