> - Other regulator labels are based on the schematic. If there is

> - Regulators all default to HPM mode w/ no ability to switch modes.
> Future patches can switch things to LPM and possibly add
> dynamic load switching if we have determined there's a benefit.
> This should only be done for rails where we'll actually be able
