No, I mean the case where core_next_state == PWRDM_POWER_ON, but 
mpu_next_state <= PWRDM_POWER_RET. You could scale MPU voltage in this 
case but you don't with this implementation.

Yes, there is a patch for that.

You can't check the presence of the scripts here?

You can always measure the voltage rails directly also, but yea, it is 
more convenient to just look at the led.
