The values in /sys/kernel/debug/regulator/regulator_summary do indeed
match the values in meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts:

 DCDC1                            0    0      0 unknown  1100mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 DCDC2                            0    0      0 unknown  1150mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 DCDC3                            0    0      0 unknown  1500mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 LDO1                             0    0      0 unknown  2900mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 LDO2                             0    0      0 unknown  1800mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 LDO3                             0    0      0 unknown  1800mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 LDO4                             0    0      0 unknown  2850mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 LDO5                             0    0      0 unknown  1800mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 LDORTC1                          0    0      0 unknown  2700mV     0mA     0mV     0mV
 LDORTC2                          0    0      0 unknown   900mV     0mA     0mV     0mV

After I copy the regulator table from meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts, I can indeed
observe the effect of regulators being on/off. I will use that to further
investigate how the regulators are used.

The vendor u-boot/kernel aren't very useful, unfortunately.
The downstream devicetree includes these settings:

	rn5t618 {
		status = "okay";
		ddr_voltage   = <1500000>; // 1.5V
		vddao_voltage = <1200000>; // 1.2V
		[...]
	};

The corresponding driver seems to associate ddr_voltage with DCDC2 and
vddio_voltage with DCDC3, although this part of the code[1] is "#if 0"'d.
