Knowing the range of the constaints is going to tell you nothing useful
about that, it has zero information on steps or anything.  The way to
find out what voltages can be set is to enumerate the voltages that can
be set through the existing API and then if you want to set a specific
voltage that you've confirmed is available you can set exactly that
voltage via the normal voltage setting interface, no need to provide a
range.
