Here, I used term "similar" means the which rail is feeding to Tegra's 
which vdd?
So by this, if AMS SD0 is feeding to Tegra vdd-cpu then it should be 
same for Laguna.
This is maximum possible for Tegra cpu  from PMIC. Tegra can use desired 
voltage limited to this max based on their sku for going to maximum 
frequency.
If we program less voltage as maximum then Tegra will not go to higher 
frequency assuming PMIC limitation which is not correct.
