There is no way to query what voltage I will actually get for a given input
voltage. If you read drivers/clk/tegra/cvb. (you did do that right?), you
will see that there is a minimum and maximum voltage defined by
charaterization which needs to be capped to the regulator generated voltages
for those points.
