Aha I get it! So you adjust something in the I/O-cell so that it is adapted
for the new voltage.

OK that seems to be something new. I suspect
power-voltage-select = <n>; where N i in uV would solve this?
(We should use uV since regulators use this.)

But to be sure we would like to know what is actually happening,
electronically speaking, when you set this up. Do you have any
idea?
