Ok.

Internally, DCDC1's output feeds the input for DC1SW (which is just a switch
BTW), and DCDC5's output feeds DC5LDO (which is an LDO). Both these extra
regulators have separate controls. There are no external pins to name the
supplies after, so I just named them after which regulator supplies them.
