Correct the specified regulator-min-microvolt value for the buck DCDC_REG2 regulator, which is part of the Rockchip RK809 PMIC, in the Pine64 Quartz64 Model B board dts. According to the RK809 datasheet, version 1.01, this regulator is capable of producing voltages as low as 0.5 V on its output, instead of going down to 0.9 V only, which is additionally confirmed by the regulator-min-microvolt values found in the board dts files for the other
supported boards that use the same RK809 PMIC.

This allows the DVFS to clock the GPU on the Quartz64 Model B below 700 MHz, all the way down to 200 MHz, which saves some power and reduces the amount of generated heat a bit, improving the thermal headroom and possibly improving
the bursty CPU and GPU performance on this board.

This also eliminates the following warnings in the kernel log:

The constraints here are supposed to be the constraints of the consumer,
not the provider. The latter is already known by the implementation.

So if the GPU can go down to 0.825V or 0.81V even (based on the datasheet), this should say the corresponding value. Surely the GPU can't go down to
0.5V?

Can you send another fix for it?

I can confirm that the voltage of the power supply of GPU found inside
the RK3566 can be as low as 0.81 V, according to the datasheet, or as
low as 0.825 V, according to the GPU OPPs found in rk356x.dtsi.

If we want the regulator-min-microvolt parameter to reflect the contraint of the GPU as the consumer, which I agree with, we should do that for other RK3566-based boards as well, and almost surely for the boards based on the
RK3568, too.

This would ensure consistency, but I'd like to know are all those resulting patches going to be accepted before starting to prepare them? There will
be a whole bunch of small patches.

                                regulator-ramp-delay = <6001>;
