I have to say that I was very suspicious of this claim at the time but
there was so much pain associated with the MMC stuff that it just got
left to slide. Similarly with the use of regulator_get_exclusive() to
vary the voltage, I'd *really* expect that the code would be able to
cope with shared supplies.
