Normally you are correct and you'll want minimum voltage for the digital engine
but there may be the possibility for certain platform scenarios that to meet
timings a higher voltage is required. Would prefer to leave this in in case it
is required in the future. As a side, the default setting is the lowest voltage,
if this binding is not provided.

The expectation was these would be set once and left for a platform, which is
why I added them to the DT. However there's no reason they couldn't be moved
to binary control. Having looked at other codecs, I assume SND_SOC_BYTES* would
be the preferred method for setting this kind of data?
