The pp3300_panel fixed regulator is just a load switch. It does not have
any regulating capabilities. Thus having voltage constraints on it is
wrong.
Remove the voltage constraints.

I see that the other three patches were merged and included in the pull
request, but not this one. Were there any concerns?
Sorry I forgot to actually provide an explanation for that - yes, I do have some
comment about this one.
Despite this being a load switch, it's still switching power from regulator A to
target device X, so this is technically still providing 3.3V to device X.
Think about how a "regular" full-fledged regulator works: you can (sometimes) set
a voltage, and then you can ENABLE the VOUT for said regulator (/rail): this kind
of "load switch" does exactly the same as the ENABLE switch for a full-fledged
regulator.
So, this is switching on and off a power rail that is derived from a source rail,
practically creating... well, a "new" rail, with...
VIN=somewhere-3.3v,
VOUT=somewhere-still-3.3v
Any objections/doubts/etc? :-)
P.S.: I'm writing fast, sorry if anything appears unclear, feel free to shoot more
questions in case :-)
Cheers,
Angelo
