The BD71837 buck output voltages are in a few cases scaled using external
connection which adds a pull-up to regulator feedback pin. This connection
will adjust output voltage from regulator in a deterministic way.
Add support for describing this HW connection so that driver can adjust
voltage ranges accordingly.

+ # Setups where regulator (especially the buck8) output voltage is scaled
