So, over in the other thready you were referring to mailing list posts
you made in the past few moments as examples of past issues.  Please at
least mention that there hasn't been any actual discussion when doing
this...

I don't see a problem here, if the device can't set the voltage then
setting constraints to allow the voltage to be changed is silly and the
user just shouldn't do that.
