The constraints here are supposed to be the constraints of the consumer,
not the provider. The latter is already known by the implementation.

So if the GPU can go down to 0.825V or 0.81V even (based on the datasheet),
this should say the corresponding value. Surely the GPU can't go down to
0.5V?

Can you send another fix for it?
