Okay I have a question about this; some of the regulators (SW1
especially) are obviously consumed by the CPU core complex so that
when DVFS gives us a hint we can clock down and reduce voltage. How on
earth do we implement that?

We can drop the maximum range to be better for the CPU (1.3V is too
high, I think this is legacy from when we may have had a sorted 1GHz
MX51 coming out) but I can't find any source for where this is hooked
in.
