Yes I am aware of that. Those voltage range setting from schematics
are for *default on* and *default off* of regulator state.

As per the datasheet description.

*Buck Convertors*
Each buck provides a wide range of output and Buck1, 2,3,4,6 voltage
controlled by Dynamic Voltage scale
(DVS) function through I2C control, Buck1, Buck2, Buck3, Buck4 and
Buck6 have controllable output voltage
range from 0.65 V to 1.6 V, Buck5 has controllable output voltage
range from 0.65V to 2.0V, Buck7, Buck8 and
Buck10 have controllable output voltage range from 0.75 V to 3.55 V
and BuckBoost9 has controllable output
voltage range from 3.0 V to 3.75 V. Ramp slope can be controlled from
6.25 mV/us to 50 mV/us using 2 bits.

*LDOs*
Thirty eight consisted of 31 PLDOs (PMOS-type LDo) and 7 NLDOs
(NMOS-type LDO) and integrated into
S2MPS11. PLDOs are mainly used for higher output volage rangeing from
0.8 V to 3.95 V with 5OmV step.
Their maximum output current driving capacities are 150 mA, 300 mA and 450 mA.
