The above makes no sense.  How can constraints be "what is physically on
the board", particularly variable constrants when there isn't even a
consumer?  What values are you taking from which documentation?  

The cover letter and binding both claimed (buried after large amounts of
changelog) that these PMUs were exposing regulators to consumers and the
DTS puports to do exactly that...

For something that doesn't use the regulator framework at all what
appears to be a provider in patch 16 ("power: pwrseq: add a driver for
the QCA6390 PMU module") seems to have a lot of regualtor API calls?
