Okay, so I will update the ON/ONLP/RET/OFF voltage level calculations to
use a PMIC specific function for the voltage level calculation, and use
a minimum value defined in vc_param, and select a voltage from PMIC
point that is at least this value, whatever weirdness would be added by
the PMIC. I can probably re-use something from the uv_to_vsel
implementations for example.

Oh yea, vc_xxxxdata would be the most logical location for it now, I'll
move it there in the next version of the series.
