Yes, but handling signed types is working now (since the move to
validating dtbs directly).

The issue here is -microvolt is defined as unsigned. IIRC, I had some
issue changing it, but I think that was just with the YAML encoding
which I intend to remove. I'll give it another look and update the
type if there's no issues.
