Why do the others need it?

fixed.c is a special case due to legacy issues and being generic, for
normal fixed voltage regulators in a device where we know what they're
fixed to they can just have their voltage hard coded in the driver.  If
there's issues with the machine providing invalid or nonsensical
constraints the driver should just let the core deal with them.

Yes, that's by design.
