Because it's an error, it should have been 640000. Thanks for spotting it.

The operating conditions for PMU outputs. I took them from a
confidential datasheet. There's a table for input constraints and
possible output values.

And what do you mean by there not being any consumers? The WLAN and BT
*are* the consumers.

Yes, but I'm not sure what the question is.

This driver is a power sequencing *provider* but also a regulator
*consumer*. It gets regulators from the host and exposes a power
sequencer to *its* consumers (WLAN and BT). On DT it exposes
regulators (LDO outputs of the PMU) but we don't instantiate them in
C.
