This really belongs in patch 1/2. But then the same comments hold true
and I think you'll need to come up with a proper fix that prevents the
switch to a higher frequency if don't have the necessary regulator, or
make the Kconfig symbol bool if all else fails.

If you make the Kconfig symbol bool I'd expect a really good explanation
in the commit message as to why it can't be fixed properly.
