Anand has here valid point - the constraints in DTS do not match
hardware manual. This leads to question whether voltage table in
driver is proper... Another point is the voltage itself. The
schematics describes them as at specific voltage (1.35 V and 2.0 V)
but after boot they are 1.2 V and 1.85 V. Maybe this shift comes from
the problem above.

Although I did not get what is the difference in the logs (Anand
pasted two logs but they look the same) but the power consumption is
reason is good enough. I would be happy to put in the changelog entire
consumption  difference. I can measure it on XU3-Lite but can you give
me the XU4 (before and after)?
