Right, there's two things going on here.  One is that as you describe we
shouldn't be putting constraints in .dtsi files if we don't know they're
OK for a given board.  The other thing is that on this particular board
it turns out that there's no support for varying the voltages at all so
it doesn't make sense to have to specify a range, there's only one value
anyway so the software really should be able to figure out that fixed
value all by itself.
