What determines setting this property? Can it be implied by the 
compatible (which should be SoC specific).

Is this property specific to PCIe controller? 

Wouldn't the request be harmless to make the voltage request even if not 
needed?

I think this probably should be addressed in a common way as part of 
other QoS, devfreq, etc. requirements for devices.
