Right, there's a close coupling between PMICs and SoCs. The PMIC has
special sequencing and default voltage levels that were tuned exactly
for this SoC.
Note: Wolfram has not actually responded to my patch much less
accepted it. It's entirely possible that in another month or two
we'll hear back a big fat NAK. In that case your solution will be the
best one I can think of.
