Looks like it's fixed at 0.75V. I guess we're Ok on MT8195.

If it's just to accommodate the coupler stuff, I say just set the maximum
at the lowest possible setting that satisfies the coupler constraint and
granularity of the regulator. The regulator does 6250 uV steps, so I guess
we could set the maximum at 812500 uV, with a comment stating the nominal
voltage of 800000 uV and that the extra 12500 uV is to workaround coupler
limitations.

Does that sound OK?
