I rarely see drivers specify precise voltage requirements like this, but
if we really have to...let's at least give a little wiggle room. Board
designs (and accompanying device trees) may not provide exactly the
voltage listed here, and we shouldn't fail to probe just because of
this.

Round these ranges down to the nearest volt, and provide a 0.05V margin.
The regulator should provide its own supported ranges, which will
helpfully intersect with these ranges.

I would just as well remove these ranges entirely, but if I understand
correctly, there's some reason that QCOM SoC's like to set zero /
non-zero voltages.

Yeah, I'll try to up-prioritize working on making that better
(assuming others like my ideas in that area).

These look fine to me.  I find it really funny that this array has all
those load values and they're all 0, but that's not new to your patch.

Ah, OK, so my understanding is correct? (I feel like I've bumped into
this multiple times, but it probably didn't stick because it makes so
little sense to me.)

Indeed, funny. It's also funny to have that 'required' field, which is
all 'false' -- but that kinda goes to your binding review too: there's
an overabundant use of "optional", to avoid defining real requirements
on a per-IP basis.
