No, the users don't request any regulators (or rather: software
representations thereof) because - as per the cover letter - no
regulators are created by the PMU driver. This is what is physically
on the board - as the schematics and the datasheet define it. I took
the values from the docs verbatim. In C, we create a power sequencing
provider which doesn't use the regulator framework at all.
