Understood.
I also understand that assumptions on the regulator limits in the driver 
is a bad idea. I'm not sure how it's designed, but I should think the 
power-grid design should take care of regulator sharing; if it's being 
shared and the platform supports both 2.x and 3.x. Perhaps, such 
platforms be identified using a dts flag - not sure if that's such a 
good idea though.

I like Stanley's proposal of a vops and let vendors handle it, until 
specs or someone has a better suggestion.
