Devicetree is not a configuration space, and I think this really does count
as configuration - as the efuse will be writeable on every board.

You mention the VQPS voltage. If I'm reading schematics and application
notes correctly, this is a separate input used solely for writing efuses
and _needs_ to be 0V (off?) during reads.

You mention "needs to be present and correctly sequenced", who is supposed
to turn on/off that regulator?

So you very likely need to define that regulator and can even use its
absence as an indicator to disable writes.
