The schematic puts this at a fixed 3.0V, so why the range here? Are we
expected to tune the voltage of the PLLs?

I wouldn't trust the schematics too much. They are rather generic, see
the Ethernet page, for instance, showing *different* PHYs, not just the
ones used.
For the DRAM the Pine64 schematic does not even tell the DRAM chip used,
the name under the chip is just describing the package.

Well, as I wrote above, 1.36V is the voltage to go with. I think 10mV
more is well within the tolerance ;-)

If you stick to the schematic, this should be 2.8V.

The schematic lists 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V here, so should we have a range?

Why do we need to turn this on? Upstream firmware does not use the
arisc, so it can stay off.
Also in general I think Linux should not tinker with the management
processor at all.

Cheers,
Andre.
