Please place any conversions of DT bindings to YAML at the end of patch
serieses, there is frequently a backlog on review of these conversions
which can hold everything else up.

As Mark already picked this, I think we can leave it this way.

As far as I can tell this is a system configuration issue, the board
constraints will ensure that we don't try to set a voltage that the
system can't support so there should be no need for this to be handled
as separate variants. That assumes that this P register field just
extends the values available, it doesn't have to be tied to some board
setup or anything. If it is a board configuration thing it probably
makes more sense to add a boolean property for it, ideally something
tied to whatever the board configuration is so that it's easier for
people to discover.

I had understood the pm8009 case as being two different parts with the
same name rather than two different options for the same part.
