Ah, ok I missed that it is an internally generated voltage. It might makes
sense to add that to the properties documentation.

I guess ideally you'd also register a regulator for the internal regulator
and then use that. But I think that will unnecessarily complicate the code,
so I guess the current solution is fine.

There is one bug in probe though, if nuvoton,vldo is not set tmp will remain
uninitialized.

Ah, ok, makes sense.
