And the microcontroller is incapable of telling us what it supports, or
even what's physically present?

So this is going to break interoperation with a bunch of consumer
drivers that rely on being able to tell what voltages are supported.
The key thing for them would be that regulator_is_supported_voltage()
works, currently it relies on list_voltage() as that's the only way to
do that right now.

v3? I didn't see V2. Please also CC posts to the relevant mailing
lists for the subsystem (lkml in this case).
