Understand that normally these regulators' voltage are NOT adjusted, we just use
the default value, let's just call the operating range of the SoC "SoC range",
my intention is to make all i.MX6's anatop regulator settings aligned since they are in same series, 
I saw some i.MX6 SoCs use same SoC range as anatop ldo range, but some are
NOT, like imx6qdl/imx6sx/imx6sl use different SoC range than anatop ldo range,
but imx6ul/ull/sll use same regulator range as anatop ldo, and regulator 1p1/2p5/3p0
also have different settings, some are use SoC range and some are just same as anatop
ldo range....this looks really confused.

So, do you think we can adjust the imx6ul/ull/sll's regulator range to be SoC range rather than
anatop ldo range? And how to define the SoC range? Like the 1p1 ldo range, how do
we know which range is fine? As I saw it is 1v ~ 1.2v on imx6qdl, but 0.8v ~ 1.375v on imx6sl?

Thanks.

Anson.
