I hope that we only intend to use this in the case where Linux must make 
dynamic changes to the IO voltage (e.g. SD cards switching between speeds).

All static settings, and good boot defaults, should be set up by system 
FW. Perhaps not all FW does this on Tegra210 platforms:-( I hope that on 
future chips, the same FW that sets up the static pinmux sets up the 
static IO voltage configuration, in exactly the same way.
