The platform I'm working on supports cpu rail voltage regulation just
fine.
I just want to make sure that the driver works properly on platforms
where this isn't the case. As the datasheet explicitly allows this case
I want to make sure to not introduce a software only restriction, where
there isn't any in hardware.
